Visit from Hans / Opa

Opa (Robert's dad..Hans) was here for a visit this past week. He went to Chicago and spent time with Elisabeth then had a few days with us. As luck would have it, both kids ended up about as sick as I have seen them in a long time. They both missed an entire week of school and spent most of the week sleeping, coughing, and blowing their noses. It was still nice to see Hans and for he and Robert to have time. Fortunately, our area dodged the "epic" storm that was due to arrive while he was here. What started as a predicted foot of snow ended up as just a dusting. Here are some pics from the visit, just a few, and multiple versions when I couldn't pick one or the other!
