Summer Visits

Oma was the first of our summer visitors. Ben's dad and his sister Lisa went to Europe for 2 weeks, while Cathy remained in Michigan. Isabelle got quite used to the routine of seeing Oma every day for a while and talked non-stop about all the things she did with Oma. In her own words, here are two of Isabelle's favorite things she did with Oma:

I stamp some bugs with her.
Cathy has a great stamping collection, including ones with bugs! Isabelle made a paper with the bug stamps that for weeks was toted around our house as a prize possession. Cathy also made some cards out of stamps that Isabelle did.

We go to Meijer Gardens!
Meijer Gardens is always a highlight of a visit by Oma and Opa. The summer flowers were out in full bloom, and Charlotte enjoyed being in the carrier with Cathy for the morning.

Melody, your pictures are a delight to my tired eyes. I, too, have many times recounted the pleasures of spending time with all of you. Your daughters are the precious grandchildren we prayed for! And God made them beautiful as well! Wow! Love hearing from you, Cathy/Oma
