Family Dinner

This evening I sat down to dinner with my husband and children at our table for the first time in four nights. That is a really long time for our family to be apart. We had spent the weekend in Albuquerque and Nick had been guiding a fishing client in the mountains all weekend. We were all exhausted but happy to be home. I set the table, complete with wildflowers from our yard and set out the food. We had antelope steaks, fresh from Nick's hunt last week, and various vegetables provided by friends' gardens. The kids told their dad about their fun weekend and we caught up with each other. It was so satisfying to sit down to a fresh, healthy meal in my own home. I love visiting my mom, but I missed my husband, and having the four of us at one table again was beautiful.
