Family visits

Dad and Irene just left. Really great visit and so glad the weather wasn’t as bad as expected. They gave us peace of mind while we whisked ourselves away to Vegas and then we had a few comfortable days together once we got back. Dad was such a trooper, even with has bad leg from a recent bike accident.

Now, after a day of interlude, Justin and fam are coming to town! And today is Maria’s birthday no less. Kind of neat how our little island apartment in the middle of Puget Sound is becoming a popular family gathering place. I’m going to get a cake and make stir fry.

Biding time

I’ve been home alone with the kids since Wed. Steph went back to NC for a variety of reasons, principal of which being to help and be Shay’s plus one for her sisters wedding.

Outside of one blow up with Phi before school on Friday morning, things have been pretty smooth at home and at work. There’s definitely tension, but there’s harmony too.

It’s a rainy Saturday afternoon now, and i just dropped the kids off. Phi to a movie with friends and Jules to Westside Pizza for a birthday party.

As for me, I’m just biding time.

Mom voicemail

I’ve taken to saving moms voicemails. It’s super easy now that everything is digital. She has no idea I’m doing it. They usually range from 1 to 2 minutes. Generally very upbeat. Specific. And full of love. Here’s her latest. Telling me to call once we get to Bear Valley Road and that she’ll get the champagne.
