More Birthday

For Owen's birthday excitement, we went to Costco. I know, big thing for a little kid. But where else could he sample porgies, GoGurt, raviolis and get the biggest gift of all: a huge vat of toilet paper!

He climbed it like the mountain man he is. Up and down. Up and down.




We had Allie, Matt, Libby, Bob and Amy over for dinner. Owen loved hearing Aunt Allie read, "I'm a big sister".... really for Liberty, but hey, he still enjoyed it.

Lucas made a wonderful "Salad and Bread" dinner. Never of course simple salad and bread at our house. Perfectly seared flank steak on the grill.
To top a salad with roasted zucchini, asparagus, portabello mushrooms, crumbled blue cheese and fried shallot. Tossed with homemade mustard vinaigrette

This was all preceded with an appetizer of Bruschetta topped with oven roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes atop goat cheese.... yummers! I'm so lucky to be married to a chef!
