On Wednesday I spent a lot of time outside with the kids. We got out the bubbles and all of the neighborhoods came to play. Clarissa was ADORABLE:
Robert, the next door neighbor who we sometimes have babysit for us, came over to show me his new iWatch. I asked him how he paid for it…and he told me that he paid for it with the money we gave him for babysitting!!! I about died. There is no way we have been that financially irresponsible!!! Then he followed up with that he also used a year’s worth of allowance. Phew.
But, ironically, we did have a babysitter come because Abe didn’t get in from his flight until 10 at night and I wanted to go to my friend, Kathryn Sonntag’s, poetry reading. She just published a book of poems on ecology, feminism, and Heavenly Mother. It is gorgeous. My friends Emily and Jill came too and we had a fun time at the reading. My phone was out of memory and didn’t get pictures.
Abe came home late at night and we had a little ceremony to represent stepping into the second half of his spiritual life. All of the changes in my faith have disrupted Abe’s as well, and so this was his idea so we could stay unified. It was beautiful.
