This is the first Sunday in a while that hasn't been busy and stressful. Our big move is over, many of our boxes are unpacked, and we can just relax and enjoy a restful Sabbath in our new home.
Daddy studied the scriptures using the new Come Follow Me manual.
Anna played the piano (I'm not sure whether it seemed like too much work to pull the bench out, or she just felt like playing standing up).
Daniel and Joy played chess. They enjoyed their first game, but Joy ran out of steam halfway through the second one . . .
. . . so Anna agreed to finish the game in Joy's place. She started off with a big lead, but Daniel still managed to beat her. It's tough to defeat an older sibling when you're in second grade.
After the final chess match, Daddy and Joy decided to make peanut butter cookies to give to some neighbors.
Meanwhile, my little "garden" is growing and even blooming next to our family room window. It currently includes three African violets, a Christmas cactus, and a little cutting of a hardy peppermint plant that I hope to plant in an outdoor garden someday. I'm trying to follow my violets' example and bloom where I'm planted, even if that place is new and unfamiliar.
