Basking in Grampa/Gramma Heaven

Oh, how sweet it is! One does not completely comprehend the blessing of the presence of grandpa and grandma until living life in a foreign country with two small children.

My parents arrived last weekend for their first long-anticipated visit to Prague. Oh, to be sure, we are keeping them busy hitting all the tourist hot spots. But in their "down time", they seem quite content hanging out with Lydia and Marcus... and they never say "no thanks" to assisting with bedtime, bathtime, feeding, storytime, cleanup time, etc, etc. In fact, as I type this, I sit on our terrace with Little Boy Marcus sound asleep and Lydia endoctrinating Gramma on the basics of her bedtime routine. The birds are chirping, the sun is setting, the kitchen is already cleaned up from dinner (thanks to Grampa)and I'm NOT stressed or exhausted. Yes, life is sweet.
