Meeting Steffen's parents

Steffen has been a dear friend for a long time and when we heard that his parents were going to be in town, we thought it'd be nice to meet them and would love to have them over for dinner. So, plans were made.

So, early in the morning, I got the kids to help me clean the house a little and planted some flowers on the deck and gave them deck a good scrubbing. They were quite happy to help out(especially Tyler).

Unfortunately, Steffen's dad didn't feel too well and had to back out. But Steffen's mom and Anne still were able to make it. I am sure Helga was worried about her husband but the trooper that she was, she put on a brave face and came to meet with us and we felt very honored.

I had a good time talking to Helga and it was really nice to see them. Apparently she also reads our blogs and have seen hundreds of our pictures. She thought it was funny that we call Steffen our adopted son.

Helga was very adventurous to try all the Malaysian food that i threw at her. Now we know where Steffen got it from!

Our other guests who were there too that day.

Anyways, it was a short visit but we were really happy that we got to meet at least one parent and hopefully we can catch his dad before they head home. But like Steffen, they love doing stuff and keeping busy, so we'll see! :)
