Almost Done!

By far, the best part of this day was going upstairs to see what the boys were up to. (They were quiet...TOO quiet.) They were found reading and studying the book of John. What a reward for us as parents!

My little helper looks great in his safety glasses!! Looks like he needs a beaker and some chemicals to go with those specs.

Below are a few photos of the demolition and installation of the base cabinets.  (My plumbing picture is worthy not for it's beauty...but for the effort that went into fixing a rusted out pipe that broke during the removal of the old sink cabinet. What a mess it was...but it looks much better now.)  The counter top and back splash tile are just about all that's left. We're very thankful to the LORD for all of the help he's provided to get us to this point.

"Retro Floor"

We ripped up the old floor (it was really THREE old floor layers!) and this really cool looking original floor from the 1940's was underneath.  The new floor went right over the original. This was easily the toughest part of the job so far... 

(Somehow, Caleb's puppy made it onto the camera. Thanks Caleb!!!)

Progress...

Just a few updates on the kitchen project.  Brian does a little here and there as he has time...it's coming along!

Fathers Day

We took Daddy out to eat on Fathers Day to one of his favorite places for baby-back ribs.  We all had a great time.  (Even though it was FATHERS day, Mommy received some TLC...)

We started working on the floor and finished the doorway leading up to our kitchen. Part of the old ugly floor is GONE!  YEAH! **UPDATE**- Our cabinets came in and we installed one to see what it would look like. (One of them came with a little monkey in it!!!)

"Dr. K"

In the last game of the season, Andrew was given an opportunity to pitch! He did a great job and struck out his 1st batter and then another one later. Great way to close out the season!  

Joshua also did well and received a really cool trophy.  

The Kitchen Project

This summer we will be doing some improvements to our kitchen! We found a GREAT deal on cabinets and look forward to ripping the old ones out. We also can't wait to rip up the ugly floor.  

As you can see on Brian's face, he's REALLY excited about the work that lies ahead! "Do not fear. Be strong and courageous!"

9 Years!!!

We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary by taking a trip to a nice B&B along the Delaware River.  While there, we took a trip to the "Lost River Caverns" as well as Ringing Rocks Park. It was a WONDERFUL and relaxing time and the LORD blessed us with perfect weather. We are thankful for our marriage and that as time goes on it gets sweeter and sweeter!

Brotherly Love!!
