The beginning of the week was a house full of people! Claire and Matt were here, my parents came up for the girls birthday on Tuesday in separate vehicles - my dad even brought up a load of firewood, and of course they had their big party. It was a lot of fun! Amélie made Abigail breakfast in bed and Abigail made an origami fidget for Amélie. Lots of other fun presents and the games at the birthday party were a big hit. We ended the day with a cookout. Then it was goodbye.
My parents took Claire, Matt and the girls down to Escanaba leaving us with an empty house! The next day my dad left on his 50th anniversary PCT hike in Oregon. He will be gone for about a month. Hopefully nobody gets hurt!
Strange to have such a quiet house for such a long time, but Naomi and I are able to get a lot done. She is working a ton and I am making progress on the greenhouse. Went to pick up another load of lumber on Thursday and got some big hugs from the girls. They came up to say hello. Amélie is feeling really homesick. Naomi and I got to go out to dinner and have a social night on Third Street. They close it down once a month and have music and food. Saw lots of people we know.
Went to a little rummage sale downtown and picked up a banana plant yesterday! Fun find. Also managed to get the main structural beam up on the greenhouse after cleaning up the flood damage. A big thunderstorm broke through my water defenses. Ouch. The rafters will be tricky. Planning to start puzzling those out today.
