Lots going on today!

I had an appointment with the foot doctor this morning, and he says that although things are looking better, with the pain that I'm still having I need to wear the cast another 4 weeks. On the way home, I stopped at the store to stock up for the weekend. After a few more chores at home, it was time to get lunch together for the end of the year picnic at Ian's school. It was fun to sit and chat with the parents, especially those like Brendan and Malachy's mothers, who we won't be seeing next year as they scatter to other school districts.

I talked to Antonio's mother about their summer plans and Antonio will be going to Y camp with Ian! Yay! That will make Ian happy, since he's already been whining that he doesn't want to go to Y camp this year. Anyway, Ian and Antonio were desperate for a playdate today, so I brought Antonio home with us. They played mostly with the Ben 10 stuff and only had one brief argument. Antonio's dad picked him up around 3:30 - overall a very nice play date.

Then shortly after 4:00 David's father arrived for a visit for the weekend. It's always great to have him here. There was some confusion about whether and when he was visiting Karen, but that got straightened out (they decided on tomorrow morning) and we had a nice dinner together here. Ian had a great time showing Grandpa all his stuff and explaining all the Ben 10 and Star Wars guys, his Lego sets, etc. He was still pretty wound up at bedtime, but eventually settled.

I'm glad we have a good relationship with Dad. He's been an important part of David's life, and mine too, since my dad died when I was only 20.
