Kate and Allie

Kate is beginning to discover how much fun it is to be outside! Of course, she follows brother around and loves to watch him ride his bike. And she really likes Allie. The cold winter nights were good for their friendship!

Jack's Room

I've been promising pictures of the orange walls/chocolate ceiling and here it is!!! Jack thinks it is very cool! It's quite a change from the rose floral decor that was in here when Carolyn and I shared this room!

Dream House Update

And here's the kitchen! The double window looks out to the back yard where the children will be happily playing while i'm being Betty Crocker... :)

Another shot of the kitchen, the space under the windows is where the kitchen table will be. The laundry room is off to the right, dining room to the left. The wall framing you see on the right will be a new section of cabinets with a bar top for stools!

Oh yes, just when i thought we were done ripping stuff out? The electrician informed us that it would be better to rip out the entire ceiling rather than having him cut holes and run wires for the 10 new can lights that we wanted intstalled!!! So, down the ceiling came...

Bye Bye carport, the back hoe is now sitting in the parking spot that was built by my parents to house the "Novas". Note that it is plural, those of you who remember, my sister got a brown one and mine was grey. Of course mine was WAY cooler because we added a red racing stripe... It was a custom job!!! Whoever happened to get home first scored the covered parking spot! This will be the site of a massive garage project complete with outdoor kitchen, fireplace, etc. It's going to be very cool for many backyard barbeques to come!

There's more, so keep checking back!

Madeleine Rose!

What a precious gift my family received on January 16, 2009. My sister and her family welcomed another sister and daughter (that makes THREE GIRLS), Madeliene Rose. What a cutie!!!

Big Brother

This little sister REALLY loves her big brother Jack! And, how sweet he was to take her on her first ride in the Gator. Although he couldn't go quite as fast as he would have liked, he understands that he's just going to have to drive her around! I'm sure this won't be the last because it's obvious that she LOVED it!!!
