I had big plans when Saturday morning dawned: hiking Ensign Peak! Biking up the canyon!! Using our improved insurance to buy new glasses for Abe!!!<\/p>\n

…And one three and a half hour nap later, we did none of that. Well, almost none. We tried to buy Abe new glasses, but insurance only covers $100, and glasses are more expensive than that. So we headed to the grocery store, bought groceries instead, and headed home to hibernate.<\/p>\n

Afterward, I went to Women’s Conference. Our stake had a dinner first. I have a lot of social anxiety in big groups, so stuff like that is hard for me. But I powered through, even though I had to fight an active urge to get up and leave about every five minutes. As soon as the closing prayer ended, I grabbed my coat and practically ran to the car.<\/p>\n

Abe just said, “Oh my heck.” For the record, he never used to say that, but working in Provo with a bunch of other LDS young dads has changed his linguistic patterns. I asked him to please revert back to his old verbal habits.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, one of his coworkers told him that the work he was doing was “BA.” Abe was really confused and asked him if he was talking about “Bachelor of Arts,” and his coworker thought that was hilarious. Now whenever Abe does anything of note, his coworker tells him he’s “Bachelor of Arts.”<\/p>\n

What a hodge podge post. Here are the pictures we took today:<\/p>\n

\"Mary<\/a>
Mary loves to dip food. Giving her bowls of sauce\/syrup\/peanut butter has bought me an extra ten minutes of peace during meals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Gesturing<\/a>
Gesturing for more because she’s…not very verbal. But we understand her, so maybe she feels like she doesn’t have to talk. I wish she would, though!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lydia did a “trick” for me:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7177\"<\/a>The girls got balloons at the store:<\/p>\n

While I was at Women’s Conference, Abe took the girls to the park:<\/p>\n

\"mar29pic4\"<\/a> \"mar29pic3\"<\/a> \"mar29pic2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Lydia<\/a>
Lydia looked at the bars and said, “I know I can do this!” That’s probably because of our coaching session at the park two days ago. Alas, these bars surpassed her current abilities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And during the girls’ last snack of the day, Lydia lost focus and started making funny faces:<\/p>\n
