I had a nice face time call with Lily first thing in the morning and then I spent a bunch of time cleaning and getting the house looking nice for Lily&#8217;s return. Then the kids and I attended the kids session of church. It was a wonderful anti-racism lesson, and all the kids in the class gave great comments (including Clarissa who introduced herself by saying she liked purple and pink and unicorns).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I attended the adult session of church. We talked about the principle of faithful disagreement in the Community of Christ. It is a beautiful principle, and it is outlined at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cofchrist.org\/common\/cms\/resources\/Documents\/FAITHFUL-DISAGREEMENT-PRINCIPLES.pdf\">this link.<\/a> I felt so nourished from church. I planned to multi-task and work on the house, but I became so absorbed in the lesson that I didn&#8217;t get any of those extra things done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After church, I cleaned the kitchen, and folded a bunch of laundry (thank you Lydia and Mary for helping!). At this point of the day I was all, but insisting that people stay on screens so the house could stay nice. We also had lunch and did karaoke before heading off to&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..Pick up Lily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was so great to see Lily! She was sick, tired, and hungry, but yet glowing from her trip. It was so fun to catch up, and I can tell being with Jenn, having so many new experiences, and having a break from the day-to-day was good for her soul. And it was so good to have her back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We went to Spitz for dinner and then went home and watched Lydia&#8217;s 5th grade patriotic program (see below) before all going to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.54.19-PM-1024x754.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.54.19-PM-1024x754.png 1024w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.54.19-PM-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.54.19-PM-768x566.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.54.19-PM-1536x1131.png 1536w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.54.19-PM.png 1868w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"757\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.53.59-PM-1024x757.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.53.59-PM-1024x757.png 1024w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.53.59-PM-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.53.59-PM-768x568.png 768w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.53.59-PM-1536x1136.png 1536w, https:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Screen-Shot-2022-01-31-at-10.53.59-PM.png 1866w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IMG 6997\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GxQaMwF5rN8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Spitz has chalkboard walls and chalk that Ammon and Clarissa particularly had fun with.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5th Grade Program\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Ot0dp9cP9Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a great day.
