Okay, this post will make a lot more sense if you start at the bottom and go to this picture last. I always think I'll remember to do it the right way and then I forget. Senior moment?... Nathan is trying his hand at t-ball this year and stopped by our house right after he got his uniform. He was so anxious to try it on, we had to get a picture with grandpa. He hasn't had a game yet due to lousy spring weather, but maybe today will be the day.
This is some of the lousy spring weather I'm talking about. This was what we woke up to on April 2nd and we've had more since. Fortunately it melts quickly and sure makes our lawns green.
Alexis' eleventh birthday fell on Easter this year, so we celebrated Easter, Alexis' birthday, Andrew's first birthday and Lara and Melanie's (Oh, no, it can't be!!) 40th all on the same day.
Great anticipation for the annual egg roll!! Melanie and Daniel were the finalist. In his excitement Daniel leaned on his egg and broke it, so he got a new substitute for the last roll, but Melanie took home the "coveted" trophy.
The grandkids had an egg hunt in the backyard. After the hunt, they held up letters spelling out HI LIANA to our dear Liana in Armenia.
The two littlest, Daniel and Andrew, got a head start on the bigger kids for the hunt. Daniel, however, didn't need a head start. He was an adept egg finder.
Cute little Andrew at his first egg hunt. He was very content with the first one he found on the grass.
The valance above the sink and our fancy new faucet. I was aghast when I saw how much faucets cost nowdays. This wasn't the most expensive one in the store, but we like it and it works great. Some temporary Easter decorations are on the shelf, but I haven't decided what this space needs. Any suggestions? We had all the family who could come here for Easter and tried out all the new appliances. I found out that the double ovens work better when you leave them both turned on. It's all a delightful adventure getting used to new locations for everything and new appliances.
Little corner shelf that the cabinet guy suggested. I love it. Grandma Miner's cookie jar is on the top, for now anyway and our Greek vases are on the middle shelf.
Appliances are finding their niches--though apparently not the dishtowel...sorry about that.
Crown molding is done, hardward is on and counter tops are installed.
Progressing nicely!
The installers were so fast. We thought they did such a good job and had it all done in less than two days.
We have cabinets....boxes and boxes of them sitting on our new tile floor waiting to be installed.
