Dad Flies Home
Good morning! It was a bit bittersweet. The kids' spring break is over and it's back to school for them. We also said our goodbyes to my dad who flies back home today. We're hoping perhaps he can come back in a week if his schedule allows, but we've been looking into other help if he can't. I dropped the girls off at their schools and offered up a set of Luminous Mysteries while commuting to the office.
Michelle picked up my gianormous order from Walgreens of nearly a thousand prints. We hadn't ordered prints since our last visit to Michigan over a year and a half ago. She and Abby have been putting them in photo albums.
I left work around 4:30 in the afternoon. I'd received a text that my dad made it back to O'Hare. I gave him a call and then listened to an EWTN podcast the rest of the commute. I went straight to Golds Gym for my first class there in about two weeks. It took about that long for my stomach to allow me to exercise again. I took the toning class and the Step class.
Alyssa sent me some of her Florida pictures. It gave me a chance to try out Flickr again now that their divorce from Picnik is complete. Their new photo editor is called Aviary. It doesn't seem as full featured, but it can do the basics. See four of her Florida pictures below.
Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Soon Claire called and I picked her up from work. Michelle and the girls are just watching the end of Dancing with the Stars. I'm pretty sleepy. Good night all!
“I am the gate.
Whoever enters through me will be saved,
and will come in and go out and find pasture.
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;
I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” — John 10
