Family Reunion

Come on! I can't believe you rolled a three again.

I'm just warming up. Next turn, I'll crush you.

You two are as competitive as your father was at your age.

Can I join you guys? I want to play.

Of course, but be prepared to lose.

In your dreams!

So, what have you all been up to? We haven't seen you in a long time. Fill us in.

Well, I just started a new job at a tech company downtown.

Really? How's that going for you?

It's been great, a bit overwhelming, but I'm learning a lot. They've got some exciting projects lined up, and I'm really looking forward to diving in.

That's fantastic. What kind of projects?

Mostly software development for educational tools.

It's great to hear you're enjoying it.

And how's your new house in Maplewood?

It's wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet, and we have a lovely backyard. Lucy can play outside, and we're close to a park.

Do you have a treehouse?

Not yet, Mike, but we're planning to get one next spring.

I want to come visit and help build it.

Yeah, sure. You're all invited. We can't wait to show you around.

We'd love to see your new house. Thanks for inviting us. And what about you, Mom and Dad? How's life in retirement?

You know, we've just celebrated three years of retirement, and I think we're finally getting the hang of it.

I never thought I'd be so busy. We've been gardening, volunteering at the local soup kitchen, and even took a painting class together.

Painting? That sounds cool. Can you paint me a picture?

I'm not sure how good my skills are, but I'd love to try.

Maybe we can have an art day together.

That would be fun. We can have a family art competition.

I think Grandma and Grandpa have the advantage there.

Just wait until you see my abstract art. It's a masterpiece.

I can't wait to see that.

Family Dinner Night

Hey kids, Mom is coming home a little later tonight. She has to finish a project at work. That means we need to cook dinner ourselves tonight.

Can we order pizza instead?

Yeah, pizza sounds great.

I know pizza is tempting, but how about we cook something together?

It'll be fun.

What should we make?

How about a chicken and sweet potato tray bake? It's easy and delicious.

That sounds good. What do we need?

Here's what we need: chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic, onion, red bell pepper, broccoli, parsley, pepper, and salt.

What do I have to do, Dad?

Sally, you can wash and peel the sweet potatoes.

What about me?

You will chop the garlic and the red pepper.

Chopping's my specialty.

And I'll handle the chicken and chop the rest of the vegetables. Now first, let's preheat the oven to 200°C.

Got it. What's next?

Now Sally, you can start peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into chunks. Mike, while she does that, can you chop the garlic and red pepper?

Sure, Dad.

Can I add the sweet potatoes to the tray when I'm done?

Absolutely. Once everything is chopped, we'll put it all together. Okay. Now we'll add the chicken thighs to the tray, drizzle olive oil, and sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic.

It smells so good.

Just wait until it's done. Wow, look at that!

Hey everyone, I can smell dinner from the garage.

We made chicken and sweet potatoes

And we did it all by ourselves.

I'm so proud of you all.

All right, dig in everyone.
