July 24

Another mostly quiet day here on the home front; another day of blessed (mostly) quiet harmony. While Isaac and Brady spent (probably too much) time playing a video game together, Abby worked on various projects of her own imagining.

At one point, she disappeared up the stairs and returned a few minutes later with a collection of origami pianos she'd put together. Then she gave me the step by step lowdown on how to build my own.

Of course, my kids teach me things every single day. But it's kind of neat that she's of an age now when she can actually teach me how to do something new. There are definitely preteen-ish growing pains going on, but the quiet moments with her are a big blessing.
