Oma and Opa's visit

Oma and Opa came to visit us in Boston for about 3 weeks. We had a lot of fun with them and took a few special trips to see things in the area--including a weekend on the Cape! Here are a few photos from our time together.

Isabel happily hanging out in her stroller while we took a walk to explore some of the historic houses in our neighborhood. The sun hat is a hand-me-down from her cousin Sophia.
Oma, Isabel and Me (Opa took the photo) at the beginning of the Freedom Trail--a walking tour to see some of the historic places in Boston.
On a beach in Dennis--on the Cape. Lukas loved playing in the sand and water! Beach vacations are perfect with young children. Lukas really enjoyed finding crabs and seashells along the shoreline with Opa.

Isabel patiently waiting alone at our ocean-view table while the rest of us finish preparing the meal. As you can see, the apartment was just a few feet from the shore!
Olli preparing the delicious meat on the grill--YUM!

The Six of Us

By this time the kids were tired and couldn't conjure up any more smiles! :-)

gorgeous family photos, Lauren! I'm so impressed...especially being able to get a good one of all 6 of you! I couldn't even manage one decent one of our family of four when we tried last summer on vacation...

glad to see you had such a great time with Oma and Opa too. What a blessing, to be able to have them so close now.

much love,
michelle & the growing Fiore family
