The day kicked off with Lily today with a play-date with her friend Kim. \u00a0I’m not sure what happened after that since I didn’t talk to Lily much during the day, but I know she cooked because I came home to the best egg-salad sandwich I’ve every had (super fluffy home-made bread and perfectly seasoned egg salad.)<\/p>\n

Lily left early for school tonight because she has her final exam for her European cooking class. \u00a0She’s been in my thoughts because I know she was nervous. \u00a0She isn’t back yet, but I’m excited to hear the report.<\/p>\n

Isabella came over early to babysit so Lily could leave. \u00a0Then, shortly after that…..<\/p>\n

Georgia arrived!!!!!!!! \u00a0It was so wonderful to see her. \u00a0As if having her in town wasn’t gift enough, she came baring gifts for everyone. \u00a0Some are gifts that I won’t mention until Mary’s birthday, but she also brought some super cute bug suitcases for the girls from Grandma Cullen (Thanks Grandma!), fudge for everyone, new plates and bowls, flashcards, a coloring book and well, you get the idea, lots of great things for the family. \u00a0It’s so great to have her around for a few days. \u00a0I got to catch up with her quite a bit, and Lydia spontaneously burst out to me, “Daddy, I love Nana.” \u00a0In her night prayer she also said (unprompted), “Thank you for my beautiful Nana.”<\/p>\n

Because Isabella is amazing, she wanted to stick around even after I got home and her babysitting gig was over. \u00a0She proceeded to play chase with the girls for a very long time. \u00a0Tonight is one of two times in my life when I have seen Mary worn out from playing so hard. \u00a0Nice work Isabella!<\/p>\n

On a quick note about work. \u00a0Qualtrics was just valued at over $1 billion and received $150 million dollars in venture capital funding. \u00a0The funding is to help us run faster and grow quicker. \u00a0It’s an exciting place to be right now.<\/p>\n
