Baking pumpkin bread with Hazel.
Dear Children, it was very satisfying for you to spend time with Dad. There were nights of crying your selves to sleep and breaking your mamma's heart, but it passed and you are all happy for Dad to come for Christmas. Dear Ric, thank you for the heating blanket. It's even better than my last one. Dear Nephew Zeke, Happy Birthday! I love how nice you are to little kids. Dear Piano, you have been getting a lot of use this week, trying to prepare for the recital this weekend and cover up all that procrastination. Dear Weather, loving your chilliness, I actually get to wear a sweater. Dear Hailey, you are singing in a choir during temple lights on the 10th. When I heard all of the angelic voices singing I had to hold back tears. It is going to be so beautiful. Dear Self, I keep reminding myself that things will get better. I believe they will get better.
