Pumpkin pot pies

Lydia has been falling asleep every night in her harp bag under the piano. I play her the nocturnes that I listened to while I gave birth to her. It feels so sweet and tender.

Also, Lydia learned a whole new piece today! She learned “Honeybee” on the harp. I have a video here.

Because it was a half day for Lydia, we home schooled in the morning. I let Ammon sleep and Mary play during the afternoon. I played the piano and made chicken pot pie in pumpkins and a plum tart.

Abe is loving his new role in Qualtrics. He feels so happy at work. That makes us all so happy!

Also, Ammon took a lot of steps tonight. We clapped and cheered. He was so proud of himself. He tried to repeat the feat and clapped for himself. He is the cutest.

Mary was my helper.

Mary astounded us all by eating a ton for dinner. She gobbled down cucumbers, pumpkin, chicken pot pie, plum tart and piñata candy. We usually have to beg her to eat. This was amazing.

Lydia, as always, is our terrific eater. She ate all of the flesh of that pumpkin lid and kept exclaiming with delight.
