It was awesome to see the kids this morning. They both came running up and jumped into my arms. It's amazing the change in this dynamic. The kids just want to be with me and are all smiles and loving and affectionate. They both practically ignored her the entire time and kept reaching out and touching me and kissing me. D said that she wanted to sit by daddy. Every time I got up to do something, they both wanted to go to. I had a huge grin the whole time. At one point the XW(who was watching the interactions smiling) said it would make a great picture but she left her phone in the car. You could have knocked me over w/a feather. She took the pic w/mine and asked me to send it to her.

When I first got there, my D was in my arms& had a huge smile & said "Daddy I'm so glad we're all together as a family." My heart twinged for a moment hearing that. She went and told XW that to little response.

The XW told me bout her work and that she may have other job opportunities coming up that would allow her to parent the way she wants. I actively listened and told her I'm not surprised so many hospitals want her on her team. She expressed her frustration at the housing search. Walked them out to the car and she initiated the hug and told me Happy Valentine's day. She said that she would keep me updated on the job/condo stuff.

It was interesting to notice that she was really watching my interactions with the kids. She had a smile(wistful/sad?) on her face the whole time.

Oh well, can't wait to pick up the kids tomorrow. We have been asked to be greeters at church. Another first!
