My parents left. It was really sad. The goodbyes weren't quite as teary and sad as we'd expected because we sent the kiddos off to school early in the morning and our morning routine is a little hectic and busy. I don't think the kids had time to really understand that when we got home, my parents wouldn't be here. We had a lovely week exploring this little part of Germany we call home and there were lots of snuggles and endless good food. My dad cooked his tush off making yummy Cajun and creole dishes and my mom, bless her heart, didn't stop cleaning my house. I am so grateful that our girls have such wonderful grandparents and I'm also grateful to my parents for taking a week out of their insanely busy work schedule to come and relax with us. We miss them so much and the girls can't wait til they get home so we can call them.
