We are still trying decide if it is better for me to watch e at her house or at mine. At hers, she can become familiar with her new space, she can see her mom during the day, we can explore the new neighborhood. It is easier for E not to have to drive out here then home again in morning traffic around the schools. But I find myself wishing I were home so I could do my own things while she naps, or even while she plays, now that she plays more independently. On the other hand, last week I finished reading a book and knit more on the sock while she slept; at home I probably would have done neither. At my house, I can do laundry and other chores with e helping, and Randy can see her. But it can be very distracting for Randy while he is trying to work to have us making noise and passing through his office. Last week we were here three days and there two days. If it were just me, I'd have her here daily, but I imagine we will continue to divide time between the two sites for a while.
Yesterday I made Thanksgiving dinner for E. They will go to K's family in SoCal for the holiday, and E thought they might not have turkey, so she asked me if I would do a traditional turkey dinner. Lynn and Jim, Dena and Alan joined us. K made his famous mashed potatoes, E made succotash, Dena brought salad, and I did the turkey, dressing and gravy, with Brussels sprouts too. Cranberry cake and date-nut pinwheels rounded out the menu. On Thursday we will dine at Dena's along with some other friends. I just realized I forgot to capture last night's event with a picture or two. 😟
