Last Friday Pappy and Omi came to visit us. They didn't have anywhere or anything specific that they wanted to do during their visit besides spend time with Connor... and us. That made for a very relaxed few days with them.
As soon as they got in on Friday morning, they took a nap. Traveling overseas and getting used to the time change is hard! Connor wasn't home from school, so it was perfect. When Aaron got home with him, he was asleep too. Pappy, Omi, and Connor napped for a couple hours. When they woke up Connor was so excited to have company. Pappy gave him a toy plane he bought him, and it quickly became his favorite toy.
Pappy wanted to cook us dinner at the house that night, so we ran to post and then to the commisary. When we got back, Carol and I ran to the wine shop down the street and got us some wine. We had a relaxing evening at home.
Playing a game on Pappy's tablet.
On Saturday, Aaron made us breakfast: omelets, biscuits, bacon, coffee for them, and oj for me. It was the perfect way to start off my birthday. Everyone knows I love to eat a good breakfast, and that hit the spot. After we cleaned up the kitchen, we got dressed and headed to Nove for some ceramics.
He had to take his plane with him.
We took them to my three favorite stores. Carol and Pappy bought a few things and then we drove a few miles down the road to Marostica. We started by showing them the upper castle, and then we had lunch inside the walled city near the lower castle.

My little daredevil.
This boy will do anything for a balloon.
We got home at the perfect time: nap time {my favorite time of the day}! We all took a two hour nap before waking up to go to my birthday dinner at Le Pignole. We knew we wanted to take them to our favorite winery, so tonight was the perfect night. Some of our friends even joined us. :)
Connor loved this horse.
He even fed him {her?} some grass.
I love this picture of them!
Our group! We even got to meet Morgan and Levi's friends from Australia. They were really sweet.
Blowing out the candles on our dessert pizzas.
So many yummy sweets!
These little guys couldn't stay awake the whole time.
After dinner, everyone came back to our house. I think everyone stayed until pretty late. I didn't go to sleep until after 2.
The wine and lack of sleep caught up with me on Sunday. I was tired, had a pounding headache, and slept pretty much on and off the entire day. Thank you Aaron for watching Connor! We went to dinner at a sushi restaurant that night and I felt much better by then. After dinner we watched a movie and Connor fell asleep on the floor next to his Omi.
Monday was spent working on Aaron's motorcycle. He still hadn't fixed it from his accident, so Aaron, Pappy, and Levi worked on it. I am so happy they fixed it. Now maybe he can finally sell it! :) Carol and I went to the grocery store and then came home and made fajitas and Mexican rice for a late lunch/early dinner. The rest of the evening was spent playing Cards Against Humanity. If you haven't played that game, you should. It's totally inappropriate, but so much fun! Once our friends left, we all went to sleep since Aaron had to work the next day and Pappy and Omi were leaving early in the morning.
Tuesday morning Pappy and Omi left. I am so sad I didn't get one last picture of them with Connor, but it was early and I wasn't thinking straight. I ended up having to take Connor to the doctor for a cough and runny nose that he has had for the last 2 weeks. Turns out he had an upper respiratory infection and needed antibiotics. He was a champ during his appointment and let the doctor do everything he needed. I guess playing doctor has really helped him because he made himself sick the last time we went.
We like to steal gloves when we go to the doctor.
Thanks for coming to visit us Pappy and Omi. We can't wait to see you both again
