STBX sent me two pics of the kids with a new puppy. I called 30 minutes later and said that I had just finished dinner in the area and asked if I could stop by to see the kids. STBX said i could but she and the kids were walking the puppy with her parents.

I met them at the park and walked with D4 and her new puppy. It was great to see her. She was so excited to have her new puppy. After we got back to the in laws house, I stayed s little while longer to play with D4 and the new puppy. Then I said goodbye and STBX drove me back to my car at the park.

While driving, I apologized for being out of it yesterday when she called. I then told her that if she ever wanted to finish our conversations and grab a cup of coffee to let me know. She said that she could never pass up a cup of coffee. As I was getting out of car, she said that she liked my bracelets and thought they were cool.

I was friendly and upbeat. STBX and I conversed about the puppy and smiled at each other a few times when talking about D4. All in all, I felt it was a win to see the kids and at least make the effort for future communication with STBX.
