Today Lily and I exercised at the park nearby. It was a little warm, but we loved talking to each other. At home, Lily worked with the kids and folded laundrey while I worked at my computer and did some cleaning. Lily and the kids have been making so much progress on the kids’ reading and instruments! Lily has been spending a lot of deep time practicing instruments with the kids and doing Clarissa’s reading lessons, the kids have been focussing on practicing, and Lydia is even spending time helping Clarissa learn to read with flashcards. It’s also amazing how Ammon’s reading has taken off. He is really enjoying his Bad Guys books. Lily and I were delighted to see Ammon, Mary and Lydia peacefully reading when we walked into the living room in the morning. I’m so glad Lily being a bookworm has made its way to our children! Also, Ammon and Clarissa played a lot together today. Here are some videos they captured of their time together.

In the evening, we went to visit my mom and Jay for a 4th of July dinner together. David, Olivia and Ozzie were also there. We had a great time talking about jobs, travel disaster stories (my brother is a scream puker lol) and my mom’s new home and Hawaii property. We had a great time and on the way home we shopped for our Black Canyon trip the next day and packed and prepped food for the camping trip. I’m so excited!
