Craig had a great first day of school. I was also at the school of nursing for my gero clinical orientation. The stars aligned and we were even able to have lunch together. It was wonderful to have just a couple minutes together to visit and eat, I hope we have more opportunities to spend some time together, just us. I think it will be an important factor in how well we do during this program.
The kids hung out with my mom today. They are in full construction mode at her house and the kids loved it. There were 3 trucks parked outside, Cooper was in heaven. Ama even let him sit in the bed of one truck and was could hardly contain his excitement. Kylie did a good job keeping Coop safe, at one point he wandered close to a hold that opened to the basement, Kylie held his arm and kept him from adventuring in until Ama could get there. She is such a responsible older sister. We had a great afternoon playing with Stephanie, Penny and Pierce. And the best part of the day...wait for it....Craig was home at 6:20 and we ate dinner together!!! This is something that will actually happen almost every night of the week now! I am so excited! Yes there will be challenges over the next 2.5 years, but having dinner together every night and being able to create a predictable routine for the kids is going to be awesome! And one more small joy, Craig got to walk in the front door and give us all a hug and kiss right away. When he comes home from the hospital, he comes in the back door, gets out of his yucky work clothes, showers and then comes to say "hi," by this point both kids are often upset or going crazy and they pretty much tackle him when he turns off the shower. It was so much nicer to have him be able to just walk in the front door and give us hugs.
Still having issues with my photos, hope to add some tomorrow.
