Family Time

Even though Jeremy started another term of grad school (MBA at USC) and even though we're both working full time, we still have family time. We get 3-4 hours from the time I pick up Tanner each day to the time he goes to bed. We try to make the most of every minute! And of course, weekends are spent together as often as possible.
 Jeremy caught this picture Saturday morning a couple weekends ago.
 Tanner signing "more."
 Trying to sign "mama."
Now that we got the kitchen cupboards installed, we could get our family room back to normal. Tanner has been glad to play the piano again!
Tanner signing "hat."
 
A night out to dinner and to watch the sunset at the pier.
We took about 30 self family shots on the pier, and we couldn't seem to get "the one." A lady offered to take one for us (below). Still not perfect, but it marks the memory! 
Working on the house. Jeremy improved our "curb appeal" with new outdoor lights, mailbox, and doorbell. Tanner wanted to help.
And best of all... Our new dishwasher!!! It's amazing. You put dirty dishes on these racks, close the lid, then press a few buttons. Come back an hour later and you have clean dishes!! This definitely helps make more family time. This is truly a modern miracle.
In the dishwasher picture, you kind of get a glimpse of our new cupboards and counter top, but the kitchen isn't done yet. Still need to get new flooring and fix a bunch of problems with the cupboards.
Yay for family time!

What fun pictures! I'm glad that you guys get to squeeze in that family time. I'm impressed with all of Tanner's signs too! And the kitchen looks great, I'm sure it'll be nice having it all done.
