Bundle of Cuteness!

This little cutie slept from 8-5:30 last night.  Sleeping has greatly improved since sleeping on her belly.  She's also smiling and cooing and we LOVE it!

Why not?  It can be fun!

Kitchen Renovation

Before

The house had an inlaw apartment so we were able to use that kitchen while renovating.

Pat started this grand project winter 2011.  He had help with the heat system, but everything else he did himself.  He's truly AMAZING!!

Lots of insulating

Radiant floor heating

Removed the two small windows and put in a new one

Door to a future patio

Half wall is torn down

Drywall

Maple beams that we had milled from trees in our backyard

Ready to use kitchen June 2012

Wood flooring in the kitchen will be done at a later date. 

Off the kitchen is the dining room that needs to be painted and the wide pine flooring needs to be refinished.

  The bathroom that is connected will be turned into a huge pantry.   

We're getting there, slow and steady!
