It was lot of fun to come home from work on Friday night, because the house was alive with activity:

Mom and Dad were speaking with a young architect about theirs idea for the house that they want to build eventually on their housing plot in Arcadia Lakes...

Dave H. was putting little finishing touches on the trim of the kitchen/den room...

...and Rachel's Mom, sister, and little brother were hanging out in said new kitchen, working and coloring.

It was so neat to come into a home that was so alive. How comfortable can you get?

I caught dad right in the middle of saying, "What, are you kiddin' me?" with his best New Joisey accent.
