Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

In November my Dad called me and told me he wanted to visit for a long weekend in February so that he could meet Morgan. On Friday my Dad arrived for his visit and we were very excited for him to meet Morgan. When my dad arrived at our apartment I buzzed him and he came in and played with Morgan for a few minutes. That's when we heard a knock at the door and my dad said, "Who could that be?" To which I replied, "Shaun - he is out walking the dog." I ran to open the door and was pleasantly surprised to see my sisters standing there!!!! I was shocked and it was the greatest surprise. A few minutes later Shaun arrived back with Kooper and was equally surprised. My dad and sisters had kept this secret since November and even kept Shaun in the dark!

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend of hanging out in Frankfurt and we took a day trip to Mainz. Everyone had a chance to hold, feed, and change Morgan. Aunt Natalie was a pro at diaper changes, swaddling and calming Morgan down. Aunt Laura was the fashion consultant and enjoyed selecting Morgan's outfits - although I am not so sure she enjoyed the actual act of dressing her since Morgan is a little wiggle worm - and snuggling with her when she was sleepy. On Sunday night it took Laura, Natalie and my dad to get her into her pajamas! And my Dad was an expert at feeding, burping, snuggling, and getting Morgan to smile.

It was a great trip filled with a LOT of food, great wine, a new board game Bananograms which I am now obsessed with, and Morgan-time. I already miss them all and am so glad they could come for a visit. It was exactly what I needed. I can't wait to see them all again when we arrive home in July. Thank you all for making the trip! See the album below for pics of their stay in Frankfurt and some of my favorite pictures.
