This is Reudi and Madeleine and they live in Bern, Switzerland. Reudi is my grandma's first cousin. We have kept in good contact with them for as long as I can remember. John and I visited them in Switzerland in 2005. This trip, they've been all over the US and came to our house in an RV. I got permission for them to stay one night in our neighborhood (strict restrictions). But they were awakened at 4:15 in the morning to banging on the door by security guys ready to tow them!! Madeleine explained everything she knew to them, and blah blah....they gave them a citation. I'm sorry that had to dampen their stay!
Chase just loved meeting them and really warmed up to them quickly. So much so that they babysat her while I went to a mom's group this morning because she couldn't go to the childcare due to sickness. Reudi was a very big hit and she was always keeping an eye on him!
Madeleine often tells the story of when they were here in about 1981 and that made me about 4...one time I yelled to my mom "I said NO, N-O spells NO!" hmmmm, I wonder who that reminds me of????
Adieu, A bientot!!
Those are adorable pictures! Did they enjoy reading the Alfie book to Chase?
