Oma Anneliese

Here are two of the better pictures we have of Finlay and his great grandmother, age 95, Anneliese Werner, in Göttingen. We'll double-check our cameras to see if we didn't get better shots. In one, Finlay is on her lap, and in the other, she is trying to teach him to crawl. Quite something! Oma Anneliese didn't know Finlay can roll around and was absolutely surprised when she put him down on the bed, looked up to say something, and looked down again to find him behind her. It was a good trip, and great to see Finlay's oldest living relative. In 1915, who would have thought that Anneliese would meet her great-grandson, half Canadian, in 2010? Oma Anneliese was kind to all of us and the visit was wonderful. We'll all be back soon.
