Kitchen remodel

Together we have really made a a big change in the kitchen. Dave did a great job on the floor. He also did a great job adding the molding to the cabinets. After A LOT of thought and driving Dave crazy on the cabinet color, I finally decided on something and went with it. With Dave being the carpenter and myself being the painter/decorator we now have a beautiful kitchen that we all enjoy. We do still have a few touches that need to be done but for the most part we are finished. On to the next room honey!!!

Snowman

We were all having a ball in the snow, including Shadow. The snow was just right for making a snowman and a snow ball fight. We havn't gotten tired of it yet. Our Christmas penguins got burried in the front yard. I suppose we'll find them in spring.

Snow, snow and more snow

So far we are all still loving the snow. Christmas day, it snowed and was very windy all day. We went to Barb and Matt's house for Christmas and on the way home, we ran in to a few areas that were pretty thick with snow. When we got to our house, we were trying to go down the alley to park in the garage, but we got a little stuck. We got out with no problems although the next day there was so much ice underneath the car that the tires wouldn't roll. As of today, we have 14 inches and it's supposed to get darn cold over the next couple of days. We all have been spending quite a bit of time outside. We're having a ball with the new sleds that the kids got from Larry and Carla for Christmas.

Snow

The snow has arrived! We all love it so far. I look around and still can't believe we are actually here. The coldest it's been so far, I believe, is -12. Dave is really enjoying the indoor/outdoor thermometer. It tells us the temp both inside the house and outside. Brrrrrrrrrr

We have a new member in the family. His name is Shadow. He is 7 wks old and is a mix of Shitzu, Pug and MinPin. We gave him to the kids for Christmas. He was an early present. The kids were thrilled.

Thanksgiving

We had a delicious Thanksgiving meal at Larry and Carla's. It was a great time.

Our New Home

We made it to North Dakota and are getting settled into our house. We just love it. Our 109 year old house is so cute and full of character. Collin and Kasssidy are enjoying their new school and friends. I can stand on our front porch and see them going into the front door of the school. It's great. We are so close to everything. Kassidy and I love the fact that the street we live on takes us directly into the Kirkwood Mall parking lot. This is definitely a good move for us. The kids love their new home. Collin and Kassidy love having their own rooms rather than having to share with Nathan and Emily. I just love the original door knobs. Well, I am assuming they are original. Also, in Kassidy's bedroom, there is access to an attic space. There is also a pull down attic ladder in the hallway to another large attic space. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
