Three Weeks
I have just spent the most incredible three weeks with these two little girls! Both speak English and German (yes, even Maya who is only 2). We baked chocolate chip cookies, colored pictures, played Candy Land, went for walks, picked roses and played with every toy I have. So many memories were made and they will have to last for another year.
…and every morning, wind, rain or shine, Maya walked Chelsea with Milkshake with me.
I hated to say goodbye. Seeing them is such pure joy and saying goodbye is so painful. I feel like this every time they come here, or I go to visit and it takes me a few days to recover…
Now it’s back to work and I have lots to tell you!
Hugs,
Anne

Thanks for sharing this wonderful treat. I just spent a week with my granddaughters, ages 8 years and 8 months!. They live in Michigan and we live in North Carolina. It’s not overseas but the distance is nevertheless palpable and the partings so hard.

Awww, they’re both SO cute! It must be hard having them so far away all the time. What a good grandma you are! :)

Oh Anne, thanks for sharing the darling photos and video, your granddaughters are beautiful and so precious. Where does the time go? I recall when my son/family lived 1,000 miles away and it seemed I was always hopping on a plane….at least they were in the states. I’m very happy for your visit, I’ve actually thought of you several times during the Easter season, knowing you were enjoying your family’s visit. I know parting is sad, but you have the lovely memories until next time. {Hug}
