Hello! When Winry went for her 3 year checkup they did an eye screening and it came back saying she needed glasses. We took her to an eye doctor a bit ago and ordered some glasses online, and they came this past Monday! Look how cute she is! I think they look perfect! I believe she loves them, and it doesn't seem like she minds wearing them at all. She keeps them on all day long, and has done great with it from day 1.
So, last week I was actually on a work trip. I had to leave last Sunday at 7 am, so I essentially missed all of Mother's Day! Oops! I did help the girls pick presents and left some surprises behind for Monica. I did my best to set up a special day, though I'm sure she would have preferred I was there. But, as mentioned last week, Brooke did her best to make it a wonderful mother's day. In the mean time I was wandering the airport a bit and found this outdoor area at the end of the terminal. The weather was pretty nice, so I went out for a bit and got to watch some planes land. It was a pretty cool area to kill the time (I got through security in 2 minutes, so I was early).
I don't have many pictures from my trip because we weren't supposed to take them with our cell phones, and we didn't set anything on fire, so it didn't really seem worth pulling some over from the work network. I do have some pictures from Monica though. She did a spectacular job with the kids while I was gone, and fortunately everyone did pretty well in my absence. Here's Grayson happily playing with the cube.
Grayson also started making a crazy face while I was gone. No clue what's going on here, and I don't think it's tied to a food he doesn't like or anything. He just started scrunching his face and stuff. Makes him look like a grump, but he's basically always happy when he does it.
One of my preparations I left behind were wrapped gifts for Monica with labels such as "For when you need a treat," "for when you need a break from the girls" and "For when you STILL need a break from the girls." These were opened on a rainy day, and unfortunately the first one was more of an outside thing, so everything got opened pretty quickly. The girls were really excited to find a necklace making kit! Hopefully this bought Monica some sweet sweet moments of peace and relaxation. The girls definitely look like they're having a great time!
Monica took the kids to the library one day as well. It was EMPTY! She said they were the only ones there. Looks like everyone had some fun playing with the various puzzles, etc. They also got to check out books and movies, which they haven't gotten to do for a long time. They were very excited.
Outside the library they had a shark statue. I've never seen this before, so I assume it's semi-new. It was at least put in sometime in the last year. I get that doesn't mean it's new, but it was new to us!
On Thursday Monica went to the park for play group. There was a pretty decent group from the ward there, and Monica's even met some new people who moved in during the pandemic, so that's been nice. Clara was really excited to see Grayson, and just wanted to give him hugs.
We ordered a little table and chairs for that spot I flattened out. I don't know that the ground is hard yet, so the chairs might be a little sinky and tippy. I'll have to go sit in them and try it out, but it was raining all day today and I didn't really want to get wet.
On Saturday morning I was up and ready a few hours before we left for the airport, so I went for a walk. The hotel was right on the bay, and had a nature trail right next to it. While on my walk I was able to find a beach. It was maybe 30 square feet, and the rest of the coast line was all rocky. I did not take advantage and sun bathe or swim.
When I got home the girls had decorated a sign for me! They were very excited to see me again, and it was great to be back home with everyone. Everything's been going well since I got back, though we are working on sleep arrangements again. I've had to hold Winry until she fell asleep the last two nights because she insists she's going to sleep in our bed. I'm sure we'll get back to normalcy soon.
That's all for our week. It was a bit short, but I wasn't around for the family matters, and my test trip wasn't too interesting. We got most of our testing done, and I got to hear how bad every restaurant we went to was from coworkers, but all in all it was pretty uneventful. Have a great week ahead!
