It's Nice to Have Drew Home

Wednesday, April 14, Colorado Springs

I was up at 5:30, almost beating Drew up. We had coffee and talked about his experiences for about twenty minutes, before he had to go to work. Halle got up around 7:15, cuddled on my lap till Evie got up, about a half hour later. We say around and talked, the girls had breakfast, and we took pictures of Hayden in her school outfit, since it was dress up day. She certainly seems to have a good sense of fashion, and knows what she wants to wear. She wore a long scarf, knitted, around her neck which really looked cute. Stacy picked up Hayden, dropped off Madison for ten minutes, then picked up both girls again, and took them to pre school. After taking Cody for a walk, and sitting around reading and watching tv, we went to pick Halle up at 11:30 at her pre school in the Black Forest Region of Colorado Springs. I learned the way, so that we would be able to pick her up next week. We came back, hung out for a bit, ate lunch, then picked Hayden up at 1:45, as we were taking her to her orthodontist appointment in the city. We met Jill there, played with Halle in the waiting room, then headed back. We stopped at Sonic, got the girls ice cream with mm’s, and they loved them, of course. We came back, played restaurant with the girls, and Drew ended up coming home around 5:30. We had some wine before dinner, two porktenderloins with salad, rice, and roasted cauliflower which the girls loved. Evie worked with Hayden on her times tables, and the girls ended up going to bed around 8:30. Halle wanted me to lay down with her, which I did, and she fell asleep within ten minutes. What a cutie. We watched part of Idol and Modern Family, then went to bed alittle after 10:00. Drew was tired, as he is always up early, and the next morning, he was going on a long run through the mountains, so he needed some sleep.
