Who says we have a sinful nature?

This evening our whole family was just sitting around the living room hanging out. The girls were on the couch reading a book and Walker was next to them playing with a balloon. After a while, Walker made his way to Miriam and leaned in to bite Miriam's leg, but Steph scolded him before he could complete the task. Even though she never got bit, Miriam attempted to retaliate. Here's how that went:

Steph to Miriam: Miriam! Don't bite Walker!
Miriam: I wasn't. I was just closing my mouth and Walker's arm got in the way.

That. Is. Classic.

Weekend at Grandma & Grandpa Steele's

New kitchen table

We had a local cabinet maker build us a table and bench recently to match some chairs we already had. Here is the finished product.  

Table for five outside, please

We've been blessed to have had several opportunities to eat outside on our patio this "spring".  It's nice because don't have to vacuum under the table after mealtime.  And we don't yell at our kids to keep their dirty hands off the furniture as much either.  They think we eat outside to enjoy the weather.  I think we do it so that our sinful nature isn't AS obvious.

Walker's new fort

Walker has a new place to get away from the daily abuse the girls impose on him.  He thinks it is pretty sweet until he latches the door which only opens from the outside.
