Nana and Opa Come for a Visit

Nana and Opa made a special visit to NC for Hero's baptism. We were all so excited they could make it! It had been over 18 months from Nana's last visit when Bastian was born and the first time Opa had ever visited us in the 9+ years we've been in NC. Nana was here for a week and Opa was able to stay for 2 1/2 days.


Opa's famous reading of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" with all the great voices (it is the story Opa read to us every Christmas Eve growing up).


We made a trip on the way to the airport to Duke University, Dad's alma mater, to visit the campus. It gave the kids a chance to run around after a 1 1/2 hour car trip and we got to see some of the beautiful architecture on campus.



Nana used to make gingerbread houses with us every year and I thought it would be a fun thing for the kids to do with their Nana. Nana applied the frosting and Hero and Corbin put on the candy. They did a great job and had a lot of fun!





We went with Nana to eat lunch at Hero's school.


Corbin took a picture of me and Nana at the airport before she had to board her plane. We loved having Nana and Opa visit and hope they will both be able to come back and visit when the baby comes in June!
