On Monday morning we were completely out of diapers for Ammon and had had to put him in one of Mary’s pull-ups. We made a massive Target run and I got a cart with space for both kids.
We also washed and vacuumed the car, and then we got groceries. Clarissa fell asleep during the grocery errand, and so when we came home, instead of transitioning to her crib, she woke up. So I cooked a ton with her sleepily sitting in her high chair playing with food and toys.
The Marshalls joined us for dinner and FHE. It was so good to see them! They feel more like family than like friends, but we just haven’t gotten together for so long. It was so great to catch up. I made chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, an eggplant curry, and an apple torte. Then Olivia gave a wonderful FHE lesson on baptism.
After the lesson, we put candles on the torte and sang to Mary and Olivia because they both have September birthdays.
Then we sat around visiting while the kids played together. It was so, so wonderful to be with our friends. We love them so much.
