First Full Day Back

Today was our first full day back and it was a doosey. Lily and I were both sick, but had a mountain of tasks to tackle that had piled up while we were gone so we pressed on. I tackled work until late into the evening, and Lily took our car to two shops to find one that would repair our windshield, shopped, visited her mom to help with a Telehealth appointment, worked on the house, picked up Basil, got an oil change and registered our car.

We were both so busy that we felt profoundly grateful that our children played magically the whole day together, which included some puzzling).

In the late afternoon the kids walked Basil, I had a phone with my brothers, and I took Ammon and Clarissa out biking briefly so Clarissa could enjoy her new bell, helmet and gloves that came in the mail. We bought them to celebrate her learning fully to ride her bike! Then we had dinner.

Lily made an incredible dinner of spaghetti with corn and roasted tomatoes and a caprese salad (some of the best tomatoes I’ve had from the Brigham City area fruit stands on HWY 89 we went to yesterday). I ate a ton.

After dinner, I worked a ton more and then finished the day with a game of Wingspan with Lily. We tied!
