Still Gone

So Abi is back home, yay, but now she's still gone all the time like she used to be. Yesterday we arrived home around 1, she hung with us while she unpacked and did laundry and stuff, then she took her sisters to the store, and then went to her friends house to hang with them before her bff twin leaves for a trip. Last night, Ethan asked for her to come down to Provo to help him with something, so she was gone all day again. I took her to frontrunner cause I needed the van to pick up Lily from Driver's Ed (this is the last week, yay). I took her to the train at 10 and picked her up around 4:30. She said that she got a picture with Kalani Sitake! Fun!

She said they were directing traffic or something. It was for some entreprenuer thing that Ethan is involved with. The thing she was helping with was from 11 - 3. 

I guess I should ask her or Ethan for more details, rather than just calling it "the thing". 

Lily had drivers ed this morning, then two drives with her instructor, from 11:30-12:30, then again from 1-2. It's crunch time for her, to try and get everything in. Tonight we were going to go on a bike ride and hike with a neighbor family that is new in the neighborhood and Owen is friends with the son in school. We just found out they live close by. Owen's been going over there almost everyday to play. So it was going to be the guys biking and us moms and the little kids exploring the rocks and stuff, but then a slight change of plans made it so it was just Corey and their dad, and Owen and his friend. They are new in the neighborhood, so we took them up to show them the Quarry trail so they could ride down it and see where to park, and yea just get familiar with a few local areas. They are a really nice family. I dropped them off at the top and they rode down, they parked their car at the trailhead, and Corey and Owen biked home. I dropped them off at Lisa, and usually they just go down from there, but today they went up a bit to the ruins! Owen said it was beautiful, and that was one of his first times doing a climb at all, and he did great! Good job Owen. We have hopes that he will join us in our love for biking. 

The girls had YW but since I was late getting back from taking the guys biking, the girls didn't end up going. Lily was making dinner (using recipes that she gathered over the weekend to make dinner every night). Corey gave them his bday money from my mom to buy the groceries. We're in a real pinch still, or "at the moment". Taking a day at a time with that. I hope we survive.
