Right after Stuart’s weeklong trip, he then had a conference at San Francisco to attend this week.  Instead of attending the full four days, he decided to just make to the two main days, Wed and Thu.  He left super early on Wed to make to the city before the commute.  The boys and I woke up after Stuart had already left, and we proceeded with our day.  I dropped the boys off in the morning, picked them up after work, we did homework and had dinner at home.  The boys are way into Monopoly lately, and we played part of the game before bedtime.  The first half of Thursday was pretty much the same.  After work, I was rushing to pick the boys up and did not have a chance to call Stuart.  With a quick scan of GPS tracking, I assumed Stuart would stay a bit longer in the city, so I decided to eat out instead of cooking.  Of course, I let the boys pick and we ended up at a pizza joint.  While we had just started to eat, Stuart told me that he had arrived home.  The boys were thrilled when daddy was able to join us for dinner.  For now, Stuart’s work trips are concluded.  It is good to have daddy with us again.
