I have a TON of pictures from today, and since I have to get up early tomorrow, I’m just going to post them with captions.<\/p>\n

\"Rose<\/a>
Rose came by this morning and asked if I wanted to go on a walk. Of course! We had a great walk, and Rose gave the girls stickers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Then<\/a>
Then I took the girls to the library (and read down some more fines).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then we headed home for a play date with Misty, Sophia and Max. I love them all so much. Max is starting to army crawl, and he is just the cutest.<\/p>\n

After they left, I put Mary down for a nap and gave Lydia another piano lesson. I set a timer for twenty-five minutes. I think she could do longer sessions than that, but I <\/em>run out of steam. I’m going to try for at least half an hour next time. When her piano lesson was over, I gave her a cookie and cuddled with her on the couch while we did another poetry session. We read “Heaven-Haven: A Nun takes the Veil”<\/a> by Gerard Manley Hopkins and talked a lot about Aunt Lydia (a nun) and angels (since that’s what Aunt Lydia is now). I love that poem, but I really wanted to work more on “God’s Grandeur,<\/a>” which is my favorite. Next time.<\/p>\n

Oh! And we read Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116<\/a> (“Let me not to the marriage of true minds”) and talked about it a bunch. Lydia decided (on her own) that Shakespeare was writing about the relationship between her and her cat. Um…..<\/p>\n

\"Lydia<\/a>
Speaking of her cat, Lydia brought her stuffed animals into my room while I was doing homework and she was supposed to be having quiet time. From there on out, we had “quiet time” in the same room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then I went to school and worked on the following:<\/p>\n

\"Asparagus<\/a>
Asparagus soup.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Beef<\/a>
Beef au jus. The potatoes Anna could have been less gray, the plate needs fewer broccoli pieces, \u00a0the beef slices need to be larger, and the gravy drizzle more cohesive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While I was at school, Abe took the girls to the ward party.<\/p>\n

\"ward<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Lydia<\/a>
Lydia was actually thrilled, but you wouldn’t know unless you knew her…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"mary<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mary<\/a>
Mary rode Chester tonight (much to the dismay of her terrified older sister).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Abe<\/a>
Abe doing his hair for the crazy hair competition at work. He met his goal for the month today, too! Go Abe!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
