Remember when I shared this tiny, paused photo from a video of Abe in a jiu-jitsu tournament?
Hahha! So great. Abe could not possibly have been more delighted!
Speaking of Abe, he's back at the MTC for a third time! Once as a training missionary, once as an MTC teacher, and now doing machine learning ... programming (I don't even know what I'm saying anymore) sorts of things with their language app. On his first day back on the grounds he ran right into his cousin Reed! That was a happy picture to suddenly see texted to me and my sister Megan (Reed's mom).
Also, one of my favorite things are the non-punctuated, hopping-from-one-topic-to-the-next messages Summer sends Goldie:
A little girl out having a picnic for one.
A little girl helping with twice-baked potatoes.
A little girl accepting dolls (against my wishes 😅) from a woman in our ward who I brought dinner to. (If you only knew how many dolls and stuffed animals my children have. I tried to limit them to only three or four of their favorites coming to the rental, but somehow, we are back to having about nine thousand here.)
Little friends wearing nightgowns from Aunt Sarah.
Me trying to take my phone from Hans during sacrament meeting.
Another lovely morning at the bus stop.
Hansie in a box.
Princess in roller skates (Mette and Starling spend a good portion of every day with these skates on their feet.)
That's all.
