Given that I was awake before 2AM and out of bed around 4, I had a very productive morning. I exercised, meditated, got ready for the day and then made a pancake and egg-scramble breakfast for everyone.
After breakfast, Lily I and I did some cleaning around the house and then we puzzled together. It was so sweet to have Clarissa on my lap, even though it didn’t exactly help my puzzle productivity. 🙂
Ammon was happy making a “potions shop” in his bedroom with various bottles he accumulated from around the house.
Then shortly afternoon, I dropped Lily off for her facial and massage. She has been running the home solo for two weeks, and I could tell she was progressively getting more stressed and worn out as the time went on. She does such a great job parenting, and she deserved a break.
While she was at the spa, I picked up Georgia and she hung out at our place and played Otrio with Lydia while I cleaned. It was really nice to spend time with Georgia.
Then we dropped Georgia off, picked up Lily and went to church. I listened to Brian Wilson in the car because I recently saw a documentary on him that made me very happy and very interested in him.
At church the lesson was on labyrinths, a compelling spiritual practice. We learned about them, and then we walked a labyrinth outside that was painted on the asphalt. It was a very humble labyrinth, but the group had very meaningful experiences. Lily cried, and I felt deep spiritual insight and connection beyond what I often do. It was a very neat experience.
Ammon and Jamie were at church and experienced the labyrinth lesson with us, and then we had them over for dinner. We ordered Cafe Rio because of how busy we have been and had such a good time with them. We really gel well with them (both adults and kids), and we think they are such wonderful people. It was also cute to see their little ones tucked into the daybed and watching a show.
