Dealing with WAW part 7

[pilot]

FYI update. I told you all W has been sending friendly 'conversation opening' texts. I have actually been more receptive to them now that I have filed. Lately she sends me a daily 'flashback' photo of the kiddos from when they were newborns/very very young.

I may actually offer an olive branch because of the holidays. Her father turns 60 on the 23rd. They live 4 hours away, and I have the kiddos that week. I spoke to her aunt to find out if there was a family party and she said yes, but it is this Friday. Well, I know W is not taking the kids on Friday. So I had thought about talking to her mom to set up a surprise where I would bring the kids to see her dad on his bday. Family is still very important to my inlaws and I know it would mean a lot to him. Not committed to doing this, but it occurred to me that I should probably at the very least let W know about it and offer to let her come along.
