After being at the hotel all last week and having highspeed internet-I guess I overwhelmed myself by posting 18 posts last week-- I just have alot of catching up to do from no computer for a month! This week has been back to LIFE and REALITY--no shopping** no visiting **no swimming** no fun activities (Kids n Clay) !! ahh how fun!! We have been busy this week also. Monday was Lee's first day in YAKIMA! He left the house at 6 am to drive two hours to Yakima . He called at noon and was on his way to Walla Walla to get his truck--(now this is insane-look on a map if you aren't familiar with all the miles!) Back to Yakima with the company truck and hop in his car to drive two hours home to Hermiston, Oregon---ONE TIRED DADDY! Monday we had a list a mile long and got it all done!! Gretchie took a bath from 11 :30 am to 12:45 pm -mommy put all the piles of laundry away!!! TUEDAY-- Lee had a normal dr. app in Hermiston 8 am & then he had to go to the DMV for a special class on his drivers license, gas in car, haircut, stopped at the eye clinic (closed -only in our town )(figures)) G fell asleep at 11:45 am when we left Hermiston on our way to WW (yes---again!) Stopped at Shopko in WW to see if they took walk ins-Nope! Bank--Dollar Store (get some birthday stuff) NANA'S and daddy took a quick nap before his 4 pm dr. app.(he got a blister on the bottom of his foot and has had to go back every two weeks---quite hard when he now works in Yakima and the dr. is in WW!) It is getting way better-PTL!!! It was so yucky---but G is such the cute little nurse and checks it out nightly--she is so excited that its getting better because in her 3 year old mind daddy will get to go swimming with her when it heals----Gretchie calls it a BLIST and checks hourly between her toes to see if she has one also! As daddy went to his 4pm app. G and mommy ran errands with Nana--we went through the car wash with Nana's van and drop bags off at the Goodwill!! Gretchie loved the car wash two weeks ago when we took our van through and it had purple soap she ducked and laughed and the clapped! The car wash with Nana was Blue foam soap----ahh the joys of a car wash!!!! I snaped a couple photos of the fun event!! Daddy ran a couple more errands and we met back at Nana's ---Papa was going to come home but had to work late so we went to dinner at Lorenzos buffet! Left WW at 8:20 pm and home an hour later! Good -Long day again!! We make marathon days---and our girl is such a trooper!

**Wednesday--- Lee drove back to work in Yakima---(until Fri night)

We went to Boogie and Storytime/Craft at the library--We checked out books and her favorite FATHER CHRISTMAS(Babar) video. We did say no to McDonalds with our friends---spent the afternoon packing boxes-cleaning and just general playing at HOME!!! Oh ya-and taking to Carol in Calif. She took another long bath 6:30 to 7:50 pm---was asleep by 8:15 pm----SHE LOVES HER BATHS!!
