Sunday dinner...I love beautiful Sunday afternoons outside and then a casual Sunday dinner-because Nathan usually cooks dinner on Sundays. He's a very good chef and last Sunday he decided to make a healthy Big Salad as the main meal with a wonderful red-onion homemade dressing. Our kids are pretty adventurous, but when he poured on the dressing and everyone's eyes started to sting, they were pretty upset! Of course, we tried to pretend there was nothing unusual as they wondered what that terrible thing was that was hurting their eyes! (Caleb suggested that it might be Mr Rick cutting his hay and maybe they all had sudden hayfever!) In the end, we re-spun the salad which took off a lot of the dressing and served a lot of foccacia bread along with the salad! When I looked at the recipe later, I mentioned that I would maybe cut the amount of raw onion in half because of the kids and I would have tried it at only 1/4 of an onion instead of a half. Nathan was surprised...I guess he didn't see the 1/2 and put in the whole thing!

As of Sunday, May 24th, at the grand age of 4, Levi can now ride his bike without training wheels! He has a bit of trouble getting started, but we were all surprised when Nathan gave him his first push and he took off like a shot and rode half way up the hill! He is now working on not giving up when it's hard to start.
