Schneider Family Reunion and Birthday Party

The Tierneys had a very busy weekend. Friday night Liesl and I drove up to the reunion in Blanchard so we could make the kayaking trip Saturday morning. Liesl and I had a very good time kayaking in the back with Clara, Aunt Barb, Kaethe and Oma Gabi. We of course had diplomatic immunity  from the water guns because of the royalty on board (Princess Liesl)....all except Aunt Barb of course.

  
We had a really nice time hanging out with everyone. Liesl especially hung on to Heidi and Kaethe Tante and also Dee and Evelyn. She wanted to "see Heidi" alot Saturday and had fun with Kaethe Tante tickling her. She also took a real shine to Inge and Uwe when they showed her the chickens and let her feed them her left over corn on the cob. She also visited Kaethe Tante's chickens as well. Liesl also had a really good time playing in the pool and on the swingset. She is extremely comfortable in the pool now and wanting to get on her belly and kick and I am thinking is on the fast track to learning to swim. We left (very slowly) Saturday night so we could celebrate Liesl's birthday.

 

Sunday, we had Aunt Gloria, the Tonkins, Heather and Gavin, Oma and Opa Fritz, Grampa Jack and   Oma and Grandad Halsall over for BBQ and cake and icecream. It was a very nice party, very laid back and very little stress for me. Thank you all for all of the wonderful gifts and cards and conversation. Liesl felt very special that day and it was all thanks to you. It was wonderful hanging out with family this weekend.

We were also glad to hear from Opa Peter Monday night when I got home from work and Liesl and I called him. We are happy that he is home and resting now. Hope to see you soon Opa. Wishing for a quick recovery!
