Today the weather was perfect again, and we all had really wonderful days. Abe had a good day at work, and I honestly enjoyed myself all day at home with the kids. They were all well-behaved, and in the afternoon we went outside and enjoyed the glorious weather.
Ammon and I played a game where we named animals for almost an hour, and somehow we both thought that was so amusing. Clarissa was darling all day and is so proud of herself because she can crawl and pull herself up to stand. She did a lot of happy nose crinkles all day long. Mary had her teddy-bear picnic at school, and Lydia brought home her poster for arbor day. She won third place in the whole school! I was amazed at her poster and want to frame it. Abe’s family has a ton of artists, and mine has a few, so perhaps Lydia picked up some of the art genes.
My mom has been really enjoying her family history and has been working hard on the Fiery family line. She has been on a roll with that.
When Abe came home after work, we lounged in the back yard together for an hour before corralling the kids to bed. As soon as the kids were in bed, we went and helped our next door neighbors shovel their giant rock pile. That was really fun, and afterward Abe and I went swimming.
It really was such a great day.
