Day 1

Day 1 of Dave being away has gone really well. Ally and Emily have been in good moods for the most part and they took a nice long nap this afternoon. For our outing of the day we went to Starbucks. I know that doesn't seem like much but the weather today has been rainy and cold and I really wanted to just stay inside all day. I knew that for my sanity I should probably get out, even if it was for a coffee and milk run. I have done a little bit of packing here and there as well. According to my plan for the week, I am supposed to clean the stove-top and the oven. Hopefully I will be able to do that this evening but I am not going to over-due myself. My priority is to take care of the girls. I was able to talk to Dave during his lunch break and he said he was having a good first day. He has learned so much from working in Georgetown and Marietta and he is able to put that to practice and ask all the right questions starting out.

I talked to my mom today about my Dad's progress and he was going to have surgery at 4 pm today to fix his ankle. I have not heard how the surgery was or if he was out or not. I really wish I could go and visit him but there is so much to do here right before the move.

In case you are wondering about the picture, the outfit that Emily is wearing is all her own idea. I have packed most of the toys Emily owns and so she has started digging in her toy bin for things she has not played with in awhile. It makes me think that she really doesn't need all those toys since she doesn't even play with most of them. Oh well. I guess that is the fun of being a kid.
