My parents (Omi and Poppy to the kids) came and visited the last couple weeks. They spend a week with us, visited Lisa in TN to help while she was recovery from back surgery, and then a few more days with us before flying back home to NH. As the parents get older it becomes harder and harder for them to visit. And it certainly is not always relaxing. But it is always damn special. I think Mom had a good time and really seemed to enjoy all the gluten free meals Diane put together. Karl and I enjoyed many fine beverages and cigars as always :). He really loved the growlers at Lincoln Filling Station.
We also went for lots of walks. We would walk after dinner and throw a ball back and forth which was great fun. Mom would complain when we threw it to her but I think she really liked it...and she did really well! We also went to Stone Mountain and took a short walk on the nature trail. Emily was on a girl scout trip for part of this so she isn't in most of my pictures :(

Can't wait to see them again!
You got the crazy eyes!
