Thursday was a beautiful day, temperature wise. Ammon had soccer practice and right after the girls had tennis practice. Ammon didn’t want to participate so he spent most of the time practicing monkey bars–and he did it!!! He made it all the way to the end!!! I was in awe, having never accomplished this feat myself. Lydia was so inspired that the very next day she, after having tried daily at the monkey bars for a month, finally made it to the end herself. We were all so proud of Ammon. Also, he scored a goal during his soccer practice–the first one he’s ever scored in the right net!! We were all very excited for him.
After the kids were done playing Abe and I played a little but not much because my knee has been hurting. I gained ten pounds last month and my knees are not happy. So back to the intermittent fasting drawing board.
After the kids were down I attended my virtual book club on Braiding Sweetgrass and loved it a lot. I feel like that book and those discussions are changing my worldview in major ways. It is one of my favorite books I have ever read.
