Jack's Hockey Pictures

We just got Jack's hockey pictures today. He looks so big in these pictures, like a pro.

Staging

We borrowed a bunch of furnishing from my neighbor's house to decorate the living room for the listing pictures.

Red Robin

Tomorrow is Midori's 5th birthday. We celebrated today in our usual way. We went to church and then to Red Robin and then we picked up her cake on the way home.

Kitchen Finished

The first picture is Midori with her best friend Emma.

1st Place at the District Science Fair

Here he is with his wonderful teacher, Ms. Billman. She has been his science teacher for 3 years and this year, he had her as his regular 4th grade teacher. It has been such a treat to have her. She was so proud of him. We all are.

More Snow Pictures

Jack and Keiko each made a snow fort. They just can't get enough of this cold white stuff.

Snow Day

The kids had the day off of school today. They got up early and went out to play. We got a little preview of Minnesota life while still down here in Texas.

New Counter Tops and Painting

Well, it's been a rough week, and I don't know how long my internet will be up this time, but I had the chance to send this entry onto our blog so here it is. Our counter tops are finally beautiful. The Travertine backsplash is still in progress, but will be finished soon. More to come...

Still Renovating

Well, the wall color is up and the granite counter is in. The backsplash is in the process of being installed as well as the kitchen floor which HAD to be replaced because of a painting accident. This week we start on the floor in the master bath and the foyer and then... our house will be put on the market. Phew! I haven't taken pictures of the progress. I know, I've been slacking, on the blogging. You'll forgive me because I've been living in unlivable conditions for the past week, but I promise I get the pictures up soon.

Kitchen Demo

I brewed my coffee this morning on top of my washing machine. We have no kitchen sink which renders the dishwasher inoperable so we're eating off of paper plates.
