Pictures from Nathaniel and Piper's play date while Calder and I were at T.O.R.T. Friday night. Sounds like they had a good time, and Nathaniel was very interested in both Piper and her toys.
Yesterday was my grandparents-in-law's (Oma and Opa's) 60th Anniversary party, held at the Germanic American Institute (Volksfest House). There were a lot of Q-tips there, a lot of friendly people, all interested in seeing Nathaniel as well as catch up with their friends. Probably a good 75 people showed up and they were treated to schnitzel, spaetzel and rotkraut. My favorite was actually the cabbage, but the schnitzel was also pretty good. Cake from Sam's Club and beer and wine abounded, with a ton of wine left over, and plenty of cake as well for when we all convened later at Oma and Opa's. We debuted Stephanie and Diana's 10 minute video of photos, and it went over well. Opa was clearly very emotional in giving his speech at the end of it, as was only right after 60 years. "Quite an accomplishment" he said, typical understatement.
After the party and packing up we went to Oma and Opa's and watched the video again. Isaac, Nik and I talked baseball for some time, and had more cake. Seriously, I think I had four cupcakes and two slices of cake.
