Ouma and Grandfather come for a Visit

Jasmine does have another set of grandparents that she doesn't get to see too often and they have come for a visit. Lorne's parents, Geraldine and Bruce (known to Jasmine as Ouma and Grandfather) have come all the way from Perth, Western Australia, for a 3 week visit with us. They arrived on Monday and I was happy that I got the house in tip top shape for them.
Jasmine was excited to see them and when they arrived she was a bit apprehensive as she searched her memory, but she quickly warmed up to them and has been having a great time with them. She makes sure to say goodbye every morning before school and after school runs around the house trying to find them and spend time with them.
They brought Jasmine some gifts and she had a great time receiving those. They brought her a hat, a necklace, some earrings from Russia, a baby seal stuffed animal, a whale stuffed animal and a t-shirt that says she is a future inductee of the Women's Hall of Fame. Ouma, being a strong advocate of women's issues and working for the National Association for Women in Australia thought that would be fitting for Jasmine. We look forward to many adventures in the next few weeks and hope they won't stay away too long before their next visit.
