The CK Daily – Birthday Cheers & Solo Dad Days
Happy Wednesday!
On Sunday we went to a special birthday party for my wife’s longtime family friend who turned 80 years old! This friend owns a local skating rink that’s been opened for decades and of course the party was held at the rink. The kids had a lot of fun skating, and we enjoyed catching up with folks we hadn’t seen in a long time and enjoyed some cake as well. It was definitely a special moment!
This morning, I helped my wife and oldest pack up their van as they headed out on a long trip to East Lansing, Michigan to attend the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals. My younger daughter and I will be staying home as she still has another week of school. We’ll be wishing them a safe journey and hoping that they make it to the top! We’ll definitely miss them, and it’ll be interesting to see how well my younger daughter will handle things without her mom this week! Wish me luck as well!
Hope you have a great day and wonderful week!
