Spending Easter with the Thieme Family 3 replies

Mom and Dad came out to meet Melina and spend Easter weekend here in Columbus.  Melina was captivated by Mom - lots of staring took place, then smiles, then holding - it was all good.  Mom shared a very nice part of her childhood with Melina - an old ring, bracelet and locket that Mom wore as a baby girl.

It was a neat moment between three generations of Thieme Women.  Mom looks great at 65, doesn’t she????

A Southern Belle!

On Easter Sunday, we all went to Mass at St. Joseph’s Cathedral downtown.  I said a prayer for Melina’s twin that was considered a “vanishing twin”, and the child I chose not to have at the age of 21.  I thanked God for the gift of life, and for giving me Melina.  I do not forget that I could be a mother to three children.  A woman came up and showed me her photo of her niece - saying how Melina was so pretty and how she resembled her niece.

First time in a dress - wow - dressing her up - wonderful moment, with Mom’s help - very nice to share this with Mom & Dad.


PaPa Thieme - Dad shared time with Melina

Melina got her first storytelling session from PaPa (Don) Thieme, and lots of photography sessions with PaPa Thieme behind the camera.  More photos to come soon.

It was a good weekend.  Mom organized my laundry room and kitchen like only she could.  Dad bought an organizer for the laundry room, and bar-b-qued chicken Saturday night.  Mom made a ham on Sunday.  The left lots of goodies to eat this week so it would be easier on me while working.

The biggest challenge - getting Melina to sleep in the crib without her current attachment - the car seat - yes, not a lot of fun.  She sleeps better in this car seat, and doesn’t go to sleep on her back for long. 

Well, I have work to do before I fall fast asleep.

    Hi Laura, We met once here at Solomons Landing. Your Dad was so kind to share with us this very important time in Melina and your life. She is so cute. Good luck!

    Great to see all of you together. What a lovely way for Melina to spend her first Easter. Family is so very important. Now that they’ve met their adorable granddaughter, I’m sure they are going to want to see her more often. You two are always welcome to come out here for a visit and use our home as a place to stay nearby when you want to visit grandparents. Big hugs to you all and warm wishes to your folks.
