Allergy Testing

Mena and I were retested for allergies at the ENT.  We'll be going there for shots now.  The ENT just seems more effective than the allergy doctor.

Growth

I walked through Mahoney Park this morning and noticed the tree growth as a good model for us. We have a lot of stress with covid-19 and racial injustices. We may think we need to “fix” everything now when in reality God has shown us that we just need to take the next best step. A tree doesn’t grow a whole new branch; it extends from its current branches. I can’t suddenly make everyone around me understand #BLM but I can read more blogs, watch more videos, and become more aware of my biases. As I interact with others, I naturally show my little growths built on who I’ve been. I’m not going to drastically change & I don’t expect you to either. All I ask of those around me is that they take the next best step and we’ll all have a little bit of brighter green at the end of our branches.

Monster Cookies

Mom's monster cookie recipe is huge so I took the time to do the math so we could make a quarter of a batch.  It still made 56 cookies!

Family Bike Ride

We are now able to take family bike rides together.  There's one part of the path that dips down.  Maggie says to herself "woohoo!" every time she's coasting down the little hill.  Mena can continue going straight for multiple blocks.  She still has trouble getting going but she's very determined.

East Campus for Lunch

We went back to East Campus and took Burger King to eat for lunch.  In the shade with a slight breeze it was comfortable to being having a picnic.  We walked around the rest of the arboretum before going home to the AC.

Mena Can Ride Her Bike!

Mena can now balance on her bike!  She can start herself when she has a wide enough sidewalk to ride on.
