MorMor and MorFar surprised us by spontaneously coming to visit for the weekend! Given that it takes a full day to drive here, this was a rare and special treat (they drove all day Friday and Sunday in order to spend Saturday with us). I had been talking on the phone with my mom last week, telling her how much I missed her, and telling her how much the kids missed her and my dad, and she spur-of-the-moment suggested that she and my Dad might come for the weekend. I almost cried I was so happy.
They arrived Friday afternoon. Meera was ecstatic when she found them in the house after waking up from her nap. And then Kyle and Owen were beside themselves with surprise upon seeing MorMor and MorFar at pick-up Friday after school!
We had such a good weekend. Saturday we got to bring MorMor and MorFar to our first football game of the season. Lehigh played University of New Hampshire (it was a big deal to K & O that MorMor and MorFar rooted for Lehigh despite the fact that UNH is their state’s school)! We had so much fun tailgating, watching the marching band, and hanging out at the game. Among other things, I was just so happy that my parents could finally see the MINDBLOWING CRAZINESS that is my boys’ interactions with the Lehigh co-eds at football games (flirting with the sorority sisters; tossing footballs and tackling with the frat boys; it is a real question as to which is more entertaining—watching the football game or watching my boys’ skills in the Charm Arena)!
We were sad to see them go on Sunday morning. But so grateful for the gift of their visit.
Oh that’s such a wonderful surprise! And so sweet of your parents!
