Monday 9/30

Of course the morning was great!  Mom and dad were still here to feed the kids breakfast, have a little playtime and take them to school. I went with Paige to drop Rahm off and then went with Marcus to drop off Vail and Leo. Seems easy enough, but the goodbyes were very touching. Vail gets it, Leo mostly does and Rahm seemed okay but didn’t really care. 

Darlene took Marcus and Paige to the airport and we were on our own from there!  OMG!

We fixed their car meals and at the designated time, I went to pick up Rahm and take him to gymnastics…so cute!  Darlene left to pick up Vail and Leo, drop Vail off at swimming lessons and take Leo to his baseball practice. When Rahm was done with gymnastics, I brought him to baseball practice and left to pick up Vail from swimming and headed home. Darlene brought Leo and Rahm home and Wa-La…we arrived home about the same time. We let the kiddos play awhile and have more to eat if they wanted and then the pre-bedtime rituals began.  I’ll go into some of this later but it’s all good! We made it through the day and the kids are fast asleep, as Darlene is and I will be soon. The kids were great, only a couple meltdowns that didn’t last long. 

Darlene and I high-fived each other as we said goodnight for our first successful day!  Seven more to go…

No pictures…didn’t even think about it! Maybe tomorrow.

Another successful start to the day!  These kids eat very good at breakfast. Rahm ate 10-12 silver dollar size pancakes, bacon and I think some grapes. Leo ate an English muffin and bacon and Vail ate French bread strips and this girl loves her bacon! Darlene took Vail and Leo to school, I waited at home with Rahm and he rollerbladed around the family room and kitchen with a hockey stick and ball. He’s getting good! When Darlene returned, we both took Rahm to school and then headed to Steve’s to say hello to he and Connie and for me to get adjusted. We had a nice visit.  Right down the street from Steve’s clinic is Cherry Creek Retirement Center, Alene’s new home. The last I saw her was the end of July. Her dementia is so much worse. It’s so sad. Darlene and I along with Alene and her friend Kaye went to lunch. For nearly an hour before leaving for lunch, we looked for Alene’s wallet. It was found after lunch. Whew!  We didn’t get to visit too much after lunch because Dar...
