Oma

Ruby and Owen love their Oma.  She returned for another two weeks to help out Team DuRoss.  She has been here for about a third of their life so far.  We are so grateful...and so are they.  :) Man, we got a lot of things done on the "to do" list, played A LOT, walked a lot, and did our best to enjoy the winter that wouldn't end this year in Summit Park.  Ruby and Owen particularly love when their Oma sings them German songs, makes them giggle (an example documented and shared below), and gets down on the floor and plays with them.     

Here is a walk we all did together.  Chip managed to find some potential trouble to get in.  Kessler thought she would swim out to help in case he didn't make it back to shore safely.

Oma helped and participated in all of our daily activities including reading, feeding, and putting them down for naps.  She has got this gig down.

She will be missed.  We tried to talk her into staying for the summer.  We might have her convinced to come back for another extended visit summer...when it is really summer.

Hasta pronto, Oma!!
