Mimi's Office
Kristy works one day a week; every Wednesday, at her private practice. The kids love to visit "Mimi's office" because she has a bunch of toys in her office for the purpose of play therapy. Those office toys have not lost their charm yet (I guess) so they are always begging for a visit. Kristy is switching out her old storage furniture for new stuff, so we used it as an excuse and all went over there this evening and had some dinner in her office. Then the kids played while Kristy and I put the new furniture together.

As I was driving home with the kids in the back seat (quietly dozing off after the long night), I thought of how fortunate they are to have Kristy as their mother. I'm quite proud of Kristy and her accomplishments; she is a great mother and caregiver, she served an LDS mission with honor, has three college degrees hanging on the wall (BS/MS/PhD), and (from what I understand) is an excellent therapist (she is regularly booked out several months in advance). I don't think the kids quite appreciate how respected Kristy is in all spheres of her life: professionally, ecclesiastically, and personally... she is just "Mom" to them for now and that is good enough. But in 10, 15, or perhaps 20 years they'll likely figure it out. Berkeley will probably gauge his expectations for the women he dates and the woman he will eventually marry using the high standard that his mother has set (and he'll be all the better for it), and Eliana and Olivia have an excellent example to emulate. I couldn't ask for much more.
