Oma in Town

Lori’s mom came in for an extended visit in July, which was lots of fun, especially since it also served as some extended “life on easy street” for Lori and I. Mary was eager to get up for 5 a.m. feedings, change every diaper that came her way and spend more time holding Mathias than seemed possible in a single day.

Mathias knows he's safe and sound with Oma.

Lori’s uncle was in town too, between a fun stint at camp, and all of us had a great time hanging out. Unfortunately, we didn’t seem to take too many pictures! I know Mary took more; hopefully Lori can get them when she goes down to visit later in the month.

Here’s a good one of Mathias rocking a Beatles onesie from Uncle Dave and Aunt Lenora. As you can see in the video below, Lori and her mom tried to get him to weigh in on the eternal Beatles/Stones question, but he decided to stay above the fray.

Mary’s visit also gave us some much-needed time on the town, including a weekend at the Pitchfork Music Festival and a night out to see Lori’s favorite band of all time: Hole.

Lori was just a little excited.

Courtney Love leads the sing-along.

    We thought you’d like the photo! I’m sure Mathias would love a Stones onesie. That’s preference too, but they didn’t ask me to weight in…

    Hope you’re doing well!

    I’d recommend it–it was a really good show!

    I’m a big fan of the Thermals too…looks like they’re playing near the end (before English Beat?).
