Oma comes, Lola goes...

It's been a while since we last updated our blog with pictures! That is because we are enjoying Enna-Marie so much, that we don't have time for anything else :)

Monday night Maarten went to the airport to pick up Oma Ineke, who is now with us and will stay for just under three weeks. It is wonderful to see her again and spend some quality time together. It was also wonderful for Enna-Marie to have the luxury of having both Oma and Lola with her at the same time!! Too bad she was not conscious of this precious bounty :(

Yesterday was a sad day for us, as Lola Ping's six and a half week visit had come to an end. In the days leading up to her departure we visited the Shrines a few more times, took some pictures with her in Akko, and just enjoyed the fact that she was still here with us. It has been so wonderful to have her with us in the days leading up to Enna-Marie's birth, during the birth, and then in the weeks after. We miss her already, but know that later this year, when we visit the Philippines, we will see her and Lolo Max again :)!

Here are some pictures of Lola Ping's last week in Haifa. The first picture is of a gathering of some Filipino friends, the second one of her in front of the House of Abbud, and the third of Menchie and Lola Ping in front of the Most Great Prison in Akko.

















The next few pictures are of Oma Ineke and Lola Ping during the last few days...
