I don't see my dad as often as I should. He lives in northern Utah. And we live in Utah County. It really isn't that far away of a drive for us, but now especially with a little one it's a trip. When I plan to go up, I don't like to just go up for the day. I at least like to make a weekend trip out of it. Lyd loves both of her grandpa's so much. She calls them pa and papa. Next to me, probably because I feed her, pa is her favorite person. Probably because he has magic quarters that as long as she is with her pa, it will buy ANYTHING in the store! Man, I wish I had a magic quarters. Even just one would be awesome. Don't you think so? Any way. We were able to come and surprise my dad for his birthday this weekend. He had no idea we were coming! It was so much fun. She came to class with me and we just kept heading north after it was over. I know he misses his girl. She's the first grandkid and definitely the best behaved of the two. We were able to spend a good chunk of time just us and my dad. It was so great to have some one on one time. It's is so easy to forget or justify not coming up here to visit because he is able to FaceTime and see her growing from the posts that I make on Facebook. As wonderful as modern technology is, I think we all, myself included, we use it as an excuse to not have personal interaction. Even though sometimes family can be stressful I am so grateful that we came and were able to get a few pictures of Lyd and her pa. Together in real life! Now, I'm going to go to bed. I have had no sleep so that we were able to be packed and ready to go straight from school when we left at 6:30 am.
Also, this week we have been experimenting with makeup. I don't know about you, but I sure am enjoying the new look. Think it could be a trend that will catch on?
