Grandma & Grandpa Time!

Will's parents arrived last week for their second trip to Munich this year. Neither had seen Edie since she was two weeks old, so the times had changed around here. Where there was once a floppy, sleepy baby, there was now a wild arm-flapping, squawking, giggling little girl. Sadly, the weather wasn't as different from their previous February trip as we'd hoped. Bavaria is a whole lotta cold and rainy, and this from a Detroiter, mind you.

These first time grandparents deftly navigated the dangers of a shark-like eight-toothed eight month old, keeping her blissfully happy with swims in the hotel pool, trips to the zoo, and even bringing a box of Cheerios from the good old USA. (The closest Cheerios-type cereal here is like a box of tiny tongue dehydrators.) Grandpa Grissom headed back home yesterday, but with Will off on a business trip, I have the great luxury of having Grandma stay on with me and E for another 4 days.
