| Day 39: Why Don't We Do This More Often? |
There are so many evenings that I whip up something easy for the kids to eat for dinner and then prepare dinner for Stephen and myself after they have gone to bed. Sometimes it is nice to have a quiet dinner just the two of us, a chance to talk over a warm meal without being interrupted every five seconds. And, quite often, Stephen and I would like to eat something that the kids would undoubtedly refuse. But the times that I am able to get my act together and prepare a meal for the four of us to enjoy together, I am always
so glad that I did. These meals are not leisurely; they are not calm. They are noisy and giggly, often messy, and sometimes frustrating, but they are, by far, my favorite. We really need to do this more often.

| Day 40: Comfort Food |
Baked potato loaded with black beans and shredded cheddar. Sauteed kale with balsamic vinegar and garlic. Mmmm-MM! Totally hit the spot.

| Day 41: Amusing |
Stephen's grandmother brought this framed napkin to our house the other day, written and signed by Stephen approximately two months before we met. It made me chuckle.
