We spent Good Friday in Oshkosh with the Gelhars, Grandma Pammy and Grandpa Howie! The boys were very excited to see everyone. Liam started running from the moment we arrived and didn't stop until we loaded him into the car again! Max took a little while to warm up to everyone again, but was happy to chat and smile when offered chocolate animal crackers and/or toys!
Liam and Uncle "Grass" read The Lorax, which is Uncle Grass's favorite book! Liam had never read the story before, so he was very into the book. When they finished the story, Uncle Grass gave Liam the book! He was so excited! He read it three times on the way home!
Kelsey is always so great with the boys, and they love her to pieces in return! She and Liam spent quite awhile coloring in her bedroom. Liam was very reluctant to leave when it was time, so he took a page from the Snow White coloring book to color for Kelsey and send to her in the mail this week!
Grammy Pammy and Grandpa Howie were quite popular as well, and should sleep well tonight after all the grandchildren activities! They head to Milwaukee tomorrow to visit with Kimberly and Sarah! We wish we could see them as well, but the long drive there and back just wasn't doable with the kids this time.
I was glad to see my parents because it was Easter, of course, but also because they decided to go ahead with their trip even though they had been at the emergency room with my grandpa again last night. He just finished another round of chemo not that long ago, and he's not bouncing back very well this time. He's been admitted for now, and will be receiving IV fluids to hopefully improve his blood pressure and hydration. He had an abnormal EKG upon arrival as well, so there may be some heart issues they'll be dealing with, too. So, in short, I'm very grateful to have had the time to spend with my parents while so much is happening at home. Please keep my grandpa in your thoughts and prayers! And have a very Happy Easter!
