April 6

Our new house has these lovely hardwood floors throughout the main level. We've never had hardwood floors before so some of us have spent some time doing the Risky Business slide through the hallway and in the family room and the kitchen. And then this evening, as we dispersed to our post-dinner activities, Abby grabbed my hand and we danced in the foyer.

It's not unusual for us to do little modified waltzes (if you can even call them that), but it was our first dance in the new house, and courtesy of said-floors, it was definitely our slippy-slidiest one to date.

It was silly and ridiculous and fun. And given how tense times are right now, silly and ridiculous and fun things you can do at home are some of the best things ever. And they are most definitely blessings since you can't really be worried when you're in the middle of a guffaw, right? Right.
