family time

We had a nice weekend – no remodeling obligations and some sunshine to enjoy 🙂 We escaped the house yesterday morning for a hike up a favorite trail, and today we took the trail-a-bike out again for a ride around town. Dave picked up a mirror for my bike so I could keep an eye on Sam riding behind me. He also redid our pantry closet to provide more storage, and wired up our built-in desk/laptop garage by the bar. It is so nice to have everything within arm’s reach. Tonight Dave made Sunday family dinner – a tradition he started a few months ago and really relishes now that the kitchen is open, airy, not hot and not disgusting 🙂 He made spaghetti with homemade meatballs. Sam really devoured them! The thumbnail above opens very large if you click it – you can see Sam enjoying one of his presents from Uncle Dan and Aunt Heather, with Dave cooking in the background. The little hiker is also featured climbing over one of many boulders along the way. At the end of the hike we saw the largest moth on the planet – I think Dave was actually a little freaked out by it. He kept saying to move out of the way of some other hikers (Sam and I were intrigued by the very hairy legs on this thing) but I think he really meant was get the heck away from the prehistoric creature before it flies off with you!

    Oh boy, is that SOME kitchen! It’s so much fun to see it in pictures after being on site for the remodel. This pictures let you just enjoy it without having any “duties”. I still love the pale green glass tile around the window. BRAVO on the whole project, you two!!
