On Saturday Tante Friedel turned 100... an amazing milestone for an even more amazing woman. For those of you who don't know who she is... she first started taking care of Mark when he was 10 months old.
She started out as a babysitter but quickly became a treasured friend and family member. We enjoyed dinner with her every Wednesday night until recently and this always included a wonderful and long back rub!! She lost her husband to the concentration camps in Germany and has seen so much in her lifetime but she is always positive and full of class. She has a hard time hearing and seeing but other than that is in great health and even better spirits!! They held a tea for her at the Heritage House where she lives. In the pic below you can see she is just slightly appauled at Jack's meltdown....
but he recovered quickly and charmed her with a birthday kiss.
Tante Friedel came to see Madison in the hospital when she was born and watched her grow and develop over the past 3.5 years... we feel so blessed to have her in our lives!
This was a picture of Jack charming all the ladies with his piano "skills". I am sure the place is still recovering from "hurricane Jack"
Happy Birthday Tante Friedel.... we love you and wish you many happy returns!
