It's a season of soup, and Mommy makes some great bowls of soup. Seriously, these are things you look forward to almost as much as Thanksgiving dinner or hamburgers on the grill. Okay, we'd better stop talking about those right now, as we're all on a fast.
ANYWAY, we had a bit of soup today for dinner, and it's just the perfect recipe for a cold winter day as today. It's not terribly cold like it is up north, but it's all what we're accustomed to. And lately, we've been accustomed to a warmer climate, rather than the chilly temperatures we're supposed to be enduring.
And so into the fireplace went the logs, and the electric fireplace was on while Madison practiced piano a bit. Daddy did quite a bit of writing for the upcoming "The Spirit Awakens" series today, nailing down two messages already. In the meantime, Madison had ballet once again, settling down into the weekly rhythm of things as we did before the Christmas break. Ballet had plenty of kids this time, as everyone is back from their various vacations. We've got one coming up soon, actually. It's a quick trip, one we'll describe later. But it will be a fun trip for sure. Let's just say we made the reservations today for Tony's on Valentine's Day.
Tonight, we didn't have as much time due to all the homework and piano and the devotional that Madison has been filling out. It's so touching to see her attack this daily fasting devotional, as each entry requires answering questions, looking up scriptures and spending some time in thought before writing out answers. On top of that, she's learned to look up scriptures online through a website that Daddy uses, and she does this on her own to read the guided passages. It's just fantastic to see.
We did do a bit of "The Force Awakens" tonight on Disney Infinity 3.0, but didn't have time for much. Afterwards, it was back to the time-traveling book series we've been reading, and then off to sleep. It was an early night for Madison.
Meanwhile, Mommy and Daddy watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" once more, part of our own ongoing series of romantic comedies each night. It's such a fun movie, and of course there's a sequel coming out in a few months. Hopefully it'll be good, but it's pretty neat to see the entire cast return. We'll get our bottles of Windex ready!
