BUSY DAY

FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2009 Judy flew to Minneapolis this afternoon to see her mother. She is coming home Sunday morning. To facilitate this, I drove her to work this morning, babysat Alexa and Gavin while Greg and Niki went to Greg’s great-aunt’s funeral then drove back downtown, got Judy and took her to the airport. When Niki told her she was leaving, Alexa threw a fit. I even suggested perhaps she should take her with, but they weren’t gone long when Alexa announced, “I’m not sad now” or was it “I’m happy now!” (I forget which.) At any rate she was good the whole time her parents were gone. She fell asleep twenty minutes or so before they came home. Gavin didn’t wake up until 11:40 or so. Niki was sure he would be awake around 11:00. He was happy-smiley the whole time. I fed them Mac & Cheese though Alexa decided she wanted cottage cheese instead and ate a good helping of it. Gavin didn’t eat a whole lot. This evening I did an hour in the neighborhood pool, the first time I have done any exercise to speak of for a month or so, thanks to bad weather, my being out of town a lot and sometimes just not getting around to it.
