Happenings

My baby girl before she got on the bus for school...


This is pretty much the last colorful tree left...


The kitchen is about 95% done.  We are still waiting for several missing items and replacement pieces to be shipped from the cabinet company.  The contractors won't be back for a few weeks which is fine with me.  I'm enjoying having the house to myself again.  We did have a lot of things done this past week though. Like putting up my new chandelier...


I love it!!


All the tiling has been done but it won't be grouted until the guys come back.  Do you see a missing drawer handle?  It was so funny.  The contractor was concentrating really hard on making sure he had the right pulls for the right drawers as we were using three different kinds.  He had put all his stuff away in his truck and vacuumed...when I noticed he missed one.  D'oh!!!  : )   Guess that's going to have to wait a couple weeks too.  



We finally got the stove and microwave put in!  Yippee!!!  I made brownies for the kids the other day for an after school snack.  They were so thrilled!!


The tumbled marble looks so nice...



The electrician raised the pendants up over the breakfast bar.  Sooo much better...


Next up...the stairs, upstairs hallway and we are moving forward with sprucing up the fireplace.  Very excited about that!  So as usual...to be continued.

Here are some videos from the past week of our talented and busy kids.

1.  Nicholas checking (he's #10 white jersey).  He got a penalty of course.  


2.  Gianna learning how to FLY at tumbling.  Unbelievable!!!


3.  Julia working on her solo at Kerry's studio!!  It's surreal having her dance there. Never thought I would see that day come but so glad it's here.  Thanks to Uncle Ricky for getting this going!!
