A lovely 3 mile walk..
Baby happy in nature’s carrier
Ice cream for a snack (the only food in the house the baby could imagine eating…stupid appetite)
Husband in the yard, building something
Neighbor’s dog looking for something to play with
Wife in the kitchen, cooking something
Ambient music playing
Ravioli, green beans, frozen peas, all cooked in one pot of simmering water. Topped with salt, pepper, smoked gouda cheese hunks and dabs of butter.
Lemon water sipping
Romance
From my back porch looking in!

…. and wife looking content with baby in natural carrier, presentation finished, and crib purchased! 🙂 Sounds like you had a great day Kath. Hope dinner was delightful! 🙂
KathEats says
All wonderful – except my crib order was cancelled 🙁
Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles says
What a wonderful day! 🙂
…when the baby craves something, it’s just best to oblige. How sweet its going to be!
KathEats says
I say it was less of a craving and more of an aversion to every other snack I could think of 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
looks like you all are really getting the chance to use that porch and enjoy the beautiful weather! Have a great evening!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
Too cute! I love that song!

jojo says
so you get sweet cravings like I did when I was pregnant:)
I had major chocolate cravings but tried to control the intake since the caffeine and the sugar obviously..
KathEats says
I’m actually not interested in chocolate, which is weird…
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
Oh yum, ice cream sounds great 🙂 Love the tulips on the table. You are definitely getting great use out of the porch!
Hillary says
This is pretty much the perfect spring evening, I think! I need to get to WF and find that ravioli. Yum.
Grace @ Healthy Dreaming says
Looks like you had a lovely day! Gorgeous pictures 🙂

I have to agree on how nice it must be having a handy husband… Mine thinks he’s handy 😉 Dinner looks delicious. You are always so creative!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
Ahhh… this weather! When we were eating outside tonight, I told my husband that we need to savor these days before the mosquitoes start coming out and ruining our good time!
LOVE me some Ray Lamontagne! (and ice cream…)
