The kids joined us at the Road House for dinner to celebrate Kyle’s 31st birthday. Jeanine cooked up a feast including a peach-tomato-basil salad, fresh corn risotto, and beef tips. Maya was here for most of the day doing upkeep on her tiny house which she was proud to show off after dinner. I spent most of the day at the River House continuing with cabinetry work. Busy schedules have prevented us from gathering as a family for several weeks and it was nice to catch up with everyone. Kyle has been promised a promotion to manager within the year at his job and is now renting out his basement to a couple and their two puppies. He is planning to take a week-long vacation in Montana after attending a wedding there. Nico is in training for his upcoming climb of the 19,000 ft Cayambe Volcano in Ecuador and for the Amp Futbol Cup in Warsaw, Poland as a member of the US National Team. Maya will be climbing in Vermont next weekend and is planning a trip to Olympic National Park later this month. The shoulder injury she sustained mountain biking will require arthroscopic surgery and she is looking into the best options for having that procedure.
