Oma's Birthday Party

August 24th was Oma's 86th birthday. So this past weekend we celebrated by getting all of us together at Oma and Art's house for cake and ice cream. The day was special, not only because of Oma's birthday, but also because it was likely the last celebration we would have with Oma and Art at their house. On Monday, we moved them into a nursing home. It is a little sad, but also an answer to prayer. They were becoming a danger to themselves, even with the live-in help. Mom and Poos were able to find a memory care unit at a nice retirement home in McKinney that they liked. The transition has gone well so far. We are praying that it will continue to go well and that they will like it there and adjust well.

Anyway, before all that happened, we had one more celebration at the house in the Ridge. Here is a pic of Oma with the yummy cake that Mom made.
Here she is blowing the candles out. She did it with no problems! :)

Kason and Katie were very sweet to Oma and Art. I was able to snap a few pictures of Oma and Art with the kids. Sorry for the glares in the background...

I wish that I had thought to get a picture of sweet baby Reid! I don't know how I missed that!?!?!! Obviously, I wasn't thinking. Reid Harrison Seals is my cousin Jamie's new baby boy. He was 7 weeks old the day of the party. I will blog about him soon. He is the cutest thing you have ever seen. The closest I got to taking a picture of Reid, was this pic I snapped of Jamie changing his diaper. Katie cracks me up in this picture. His diaper wasn't stinky at all, yet she is giggling and holding her nose. Ha! :)

Here is one of Kason and Oma.

And here is Oma and Katie.

Happy Birthday, Oma! We love you!
