Kitchen Before and After....

May 2006 marked the beginning of our first kitchen remodel. Thanks to Jasen Wickert, without whom we would not have begun this project, and Clint McClennan, without whom we would not have finished, we have completed the project! We want to extend a hearty thank you to both of these brave men. Thank you, Thank you. Doesn't it look great! I would be remiss if I didn't not mention all of the hard work and effort that Robert put into this as well. He finished the floor, worked on the wiring, drywalled and finished the exposed wall, and many more things. I am so impressed.

The Stomach Flu has come to town....

Hi everyone! It has been pretty much a sad place here for the last week and a half. Last week Justin, Katie and I came down with the stomach flu. By friday I was better and over the weekend I was able to go to my quilt retreat. I had a great time, and accomplished lots of quilting that I had been looking forward to working on. When I came home things looked okay, but then Rebecca came down with it. Robert this whole time wasn't feeling too great but managed not to succumb to it. So on Monday I made a big pot of chicken noodle soup which worked nicely on the more tender constitutions. Rebecca is finally better today and I expect her to be up and ready for school tomorrow. I spent two days disinfecting the whole house and I think we are finally safe to come out of hiding. We all kept saying how we need to remember to be grateful to God when we are in good health! I never appreciated eating food quite the same way that I do now. Praise the Lord for our good health and I am praying also that Brendan will be able to forgo this family illness.
