COPA

This is the theatre, dance, music place that the ggrrls go to. It is quite expensive, but they have enjoyed it. Last Sat they had their Winter performance, luckily I was here and got to go. I met Paige and Kincade, we went out to lunch (delish place called Guru's), and then to the 3 hour performance. It was great.

Rick to Utah

Rick got here on Thurs late, plane was delayed 45 min or so, finally got to bed just after 1am.
Construction meeting with Simon at 10am on Fri. It was fun and quite useful. Really enjoyed the walk thro the house, Rick and I are getting quite excited about getting moved here.

We left the walk thro, hustled over to Stephanie's house to pick up Hattie. Paige and Kincade were already gone, driving to their St George vacay with 6 other couples. Got some lunch, then back to their house waiting for Stella and Macy to get home from school.

Stayed overnight, it was nice to spend the time with the ggrrls.

Busy day on Sat with the ggrrls, went to 2 parks. When we came home, we couldn't get the garage door opened. Luckily I had brought my key. Rick looked in and the two springs had broken. We let Paige and Kincade know.

Rich and Cathie came and got the ggrrls at 6, we went back to the townhouse.

On Monday Rick offered to set up a garage door fixer and we got the ggrrls from the Upstills, then to the house in time for the repair guy.

Paige and Kink got home at 4, we stayed chatting until 6:30 then came back to the townhouse. We got up this morning and went to see the grrls before school, tried to see the builder John (we still need to chat with him).

We are going out to a late lunch with Scott and Treena. I'm staying another two weeks, then home.

Flu and colds

Lots flu and colds going around. The little squirrels I think were the incubators, but really, we could have picked it up anywhere, there's so much. It might even have been Scott, who's been hacking since Thanksgiving.

The list is long:
Justin
Treena
Rick
Kincade
and to lesser extents me, Jason

Here's hoping to a better New Year when this is over.

Macy bday

Macy's birthday is Jan 3, so last night she got to choose where to go eat and she choose Costa Vida. Paige and Kincade like Café Rio better, but this place is good. She opened she family presents also. I brought mine; with Stella I waited until the larger family party on Sunday but with Macy I let her open last night. Mainly because I only got her clothes and thought she might like to start wearing them to school today and tomorrow.

So much fun being here in Utah and getting to do all the family/ggrrl stuff that I have missed out on.

Rick and I will miss Texas and Chris (for however long he stays) but it will be so much better being here in Utah with Paige and family and getting to see the little squirrels all the time.

Hattie and her smile
