Erev dinner went well, with five of us together.  I incorporated a zucchini, an eggplant, tomatoes, a cucumber, and basil, all from the garden, into the Greek-inspired menu.

I seem to be engaging with the kids more lately, or they with me.  I feel more a part of the family and its progression.  I’m realizing the importance to Avdi and the kids of my just being there consistently and helping with continuity.
