Family Dinner

Last night my family dined together for the first time in many many months, under the light of candles and in the comfort of our new home. There is such an ease in dining with my family as you know/are each others flow; food is served, wine poured and dishes cleaned without ever having to speak about these details.

My parents sat at the side of the table, an uncomfortable change at first having been so use to them finding their spots at the head - but as they explained, this is our home and those seats are ours in this space. We have definitely entered a new phase, with new conversations and so many exciting things going on - and yet, all still so familiar and the same (my favorite part).

At one point in the night I stepped outside to look in - to feel so fortunate for this dining room full of loved ones. We are very aware that as the new people on the street we have many people trying to take a peak in, and I couldn't be more proud that conversation and love over good food and candlelight is what they will see.
