Katharine in Provo

Well, today was a very unique day for me. I took Katharine down to Utah County last night for a sleepover with Ethan and Bella. I miss her! But with Katharine gone all day, I had a whole like 7 hours to myself! Corey left when he took Churchill carpool, so after I got the boys out the door at 8:30, I was all alone. It was strange for me, as a mom, but really great. I loved it actually. I had a goal to blog. And I did. I caught up on a lot of March and did a little bit of July 2024, which I have been behind on since, let me see... since July 2024. I did not finish it yet but I'm close! Thanks Ethan and Bella for helping me with my goal of keeping a family history. Corey took Lily down to Provo for a concert, so Lily didn't come home after school. Abi popped in briefly at 3 and then left to go work for my parent's. Sophi and Natalie stayed after school for track. So they weren't home until after 4, and the boys got home at 4, but also left right away to go play with friends. I was by myself from 8:30 until 4 basically. It is a bit strange to think that that is what some people's lives are like. And that someday mine will be like this too? The plan is for Corey to pick up Katharine after Lily's concert/performance is over. It's 8pm and they are not on their way back yet, but I suspect they will be soon. From the videos and photos Ethan sent, it looks like they had a great day together. He sent a few videos to our messenger chat of him throwing her in the air onto a lovesack. They also watched the Bee Movie and walked around BYU in her Belle nightgown. 

It is one of her many dresses. I sent her with three nightgowns/dresses in her luggage: Belle, Snow White, and Moana. They found a fun playplace on campus for her to explore.

K didn't attend class with Ethan. But as they continued their tour of campus, K got a pic with Cosmo.

Katharine seemed concerned that he was frozen solid.

And where are his shoes?? He shouldn't have human feet, should he?

Ethan said it was super fun and that K is really cute. Bella also sent a pic of Ethan gagging as he changed her #2 diapers. Don't worry, E, they don't start off that potent. Your newborn will start off with more mild #2 and slowly work you up to it.

We are going out of town for Spring Break. We are leaving Friday for Las Vegas then will drive from Vegas to Newport on Saturday. Corey's worked hard at making plans for this trip. He does a good job. The kids are lucky to have him. If he ever dies, I'll need someone else to step up to make vacations happen, cause I don't think I could do it. It's all too much. He's found deals to go to Six Flag and whale watching and other stuff. We'll be there through Friday, leave Friday the 11th and spend that night in Vegas again, then try to make it back for Bella's baby shower on Saturday.
