We are very thankful. Abe has resolved to spend at least one lunch break a week with her in the event that she returns home, and I am trying to figure out how we can make it down to Provo more often to see her. We are very happy she is doing so well.<\/p>\n<p>I think Abe had a great day at work, but we saw each other for a grand total of less than five minutes today. I did get one phone call in after my final, but I think we talked a lot about our various physical ailments (Abe&#8217;s now sure he has a virus, and I think I might have a virus\/sinus infection combo).<\/p>\n<p>On the school front, I aced my final exams in my lab class and that made me feel really happy. I sometimes wonder if it&#8217;s okay that I&#8217;m spending so much time away from my children, and getting some validation that I&#8217;m making progress in acquiring a much-desired skill felt great. I think after this is all done, I will appreciate being home with my children SO much more, and I will love not having so many competing interests. But for now, I love being at school when I&#8217;m there.<\/p>\n<p>Before school, we had a fun morning with the Pe&#8217;a&#8217;s. Jen offered to teach me how to craft cute decorative blocks, and it was so fun crafting with her! I wish I had a picture of my blocks, but the day just slipped away and now they feel sooooo far away (even though they&#8217;re just downstairs&#8230;but it&#8217;s past midnight, and that feels like a trek). Anyway, I wasn&#8217;t the only one having fun. Lydia was in heaven playing with Natalie because Natalie not only has a ton of princess attire, but she is an excellent sharer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140327_105036.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2872\" alt=\"20140327_105036\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140327_105036-e1395987832109-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here&#8217;s a picture of Mary at home reading a book about Babies:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_7104.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2870\" alt=\"IMG_7104\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_7104-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_7103.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2869\" alt=\"IMG_7103\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_7103-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_7102.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2868\" alt=\"IMG_7102\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/IMG_7102-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First things first: Grandma Darais&#8217; surgery went extremely well today, and she is doing much better.
