Good family day

[beth_leonard]

This morning we went to Peter's pre-school's Holiday presentation and I got to have the experience for the first time of watching my son go up on stage to be a spinning dradle.

In the afternoon the whole family napped, Amber for 3 hours, Peter for 2, overlapping. I napped during almost all of Amber's nap, waking up at 5 pm, and Jon napped during Peter's. Jon took him to the train mall and they watched the trains. Family dinner was very easy because we only had to feed Peter.

Jon and I had reservations at La Fondue for this evening, and a friend of mine from church babysat both kids.

It feels so good to come home fat and happy, having spent a nice day with the family. We ended up missing eilonwey's cookie party due to the extended naps, and singerji's gaming night, but the relaxed pace and focus on the family and the married couple was just what we needed today.

Ahhh, life can be good. Hope.

We missed you guys, but that does sound like a lovely day. Hope you have many more like that!

mmmmm...fondue....

Sounds like you had a wonderfully lovely day! Are you getting lots done on your project so I can see you next weekend?

Sometimes a good day comes at the cost of not getting as much work done. Is it OK if we schedule an extra whole-family visit sometime to make up for it?

(Translated: Please let Beth finish the project next weekend, so this next week isn't quite so hectic.)

I can be patient, I suppose. :) You and Peter are still coming, though, right?

I'll still get to see Beth and Amber at New Year's.

Yes, Peter & I are still coming! Otherwise Beth would have trouble finishing the project, and I would have trouble watching Beth have trouble finishing the project.

Also, we'd otherwise have to wait too long to see you again.

I read "reservations at La Fondue" as "reservations about La Fondue," and wondered why you had them.
