Welcome Home Nanna!!!!!

Lily is at cooking school, so it’s me, Abe, again!  I’m a little worried about Lily because earlier this week she developed killer shin splints while working out and her cooking school involves five hours of standing……..let’s just say I’m impressed that she is gutting it out.

I left for work around 7AM and made it in time for our weekly company TGIT (Thank Goodness It’s Thursday) breakfast and meeting.  After that I commenced grinding it out on phone calls and e-mails.  I did not have any great results today, however, I know that I did great work and the results from that will surely manifest in time. Not too much more to report on the work front.

Meanwhile, back at the house, Lily had a play-date with her friend Jen.  After that she took flowers to Marilyn, one of the great ladies she hometeaches, because Marilyn just had surgery.  After that, Lily took the girls to a lunch date with Misty at the City Creek Food Court.  The only complication was that afer Misty and Lily met up, they split to buy meals at separate places and then could never find each other after that.  And so, they didn’t eat or play together, but they certainly intended to!

At home Lily put Mary down for a nap, cleaned the house, taught piano to Lydia, cooked dinner, and then picked up Georgia from the airport once Mary woke up.

You heard right!  Georgia was back in town today!  We’ve missed her greatly and it’s so nice to see her again! Lydia was so excited to see Georgia (Nanna to her) that on the car ride to the airport she forced herself to stay awake so she could see Georgia, even though she was so tired that her eyes were rolling to the back of her head.  When she finally did see Georgia, Lily reports that Lydia gave the biggest smile she has ever given to-date.  Mary was very happy too and played peek-a-boo with Georgia in the car.

Lily and Georgia got to catch up a bit at the house before Lily dashed off to cooking school.  When I arrived home, I ate with the girls, bathed them and put them to bed, and Georgia cleaned the kitchen and the kid’s room.  After the kids were down, Georgia and I had a great time chatting for an hour and a half.  She gave me updates about her life as well as how Grandma Cullen is doing (Hi Grandma) and I told Georgia all about how much I am liking my new job at Qualtrics.  And now I’m blogging!
