Abe took the above photos while the older girls and I made a stop in the mall after church. We were originally going to pick up a new pot for Thanksgiving, but that turned into a much, much longer trip…and it seems like Abe and the little kids had fun goofing off while we took our sweet time. Honestly, I felt bad about how long we left the three of them in the car, but they seemed just fine when we got back. Abe, you are my hero! If it had been me, I would have been upset.
Abe also took a picture of one of the hymns we sang today in church. The words are quite beautiful. And wow, did they play this at a clip! It might have been the fastest hymn I’ve ever sung.
I spent the rest of the day planning all of our vacations and weekend trips for 2022. With Black Friday upon us, I felt like I needed to know where we are going so I can get deals if any come up this week. Now we are one hundred percent planned, and I feel tired for us when I look at the calendar.
I think I need to figure out a way to cut down some of the travel so we can have more weekends like the one we just had–full of friends and rhythmic life patterns that we love. At any rate, right now what I most need to do is catch up the blog on this week so I can get to finishing my current book–and take a long walk with Abe and Basil!
Oh–and we recently discovered a song I hunted for in the credits of the movie, Together. It randomly played on our Amazon Music playlist while we were driving home from Salt Lake–and Abe and I both yelped. Ammon has been listening to it on repeat and dancing to it all evening, to my greatest delight.
Here’s its music video!
