phase 1 & 2 done...
we've made it halfway
phases 1 & 2 are done: floors & cabinets
the door and counters will be installed in the next week
thanks to our awesome families for helping
thanks to our dads for the help in installing cupboards, gas lines, electrical, and knocking the brick off for the french doors and of course thanks to our moms for the yummy food they gave us as we were kitchenless.
we're excited to have our kitchen back up and running, still waiting for the water though!
YOU'RE ALL INVITED FOR DINNER
anytime you want!

if you can't see the writing- we've picked the last one : ivory brown. hard to tell the true color on this picture. but we think it's going to be the best with the wood floor, cupboards and granite counter top.
we're totally hooked on having a professional hang and finish the drywall. well worth the $$$
trying to be daddy's helper
the new floor
we are so excited to see the finished product hopefully this weekend.
here's our plan
wed- paint walls & ceiling
thurs-finish up electrical, put cupboards in place
fri- install cupboards
sat- install appliances & trim
sun - plywood counter tops (granite is still 2-3 weeks out) & move in dishes
check back for more updates

happy 2010
HAPPY 2010
GOODBYE 2009...
i can't believe a year has past already. what a year it was, the birth of ellington, josh headed back to school, and our much anticipated kitchen renovation is underway. we have had such a blessed year with great health, memories and exciting new things to look forward to. it's easy to get stuck in the day to day routine and not realize how much has really changed around you. elle is walking now, everywhere!!, babbling more and more, continues to love life and make us laugh each day. her spunky personality keeps us on our toes and probably always will. she loves crawling all over tackle, much to his dismay he still takes it. she has learned to climb stairs as well, spite the fact that we don't have any beside the basement. to think that just a year ago we were patiently awaiting her arrival and boy did she change our year of 2009.
it's funny to think that it is actually 2010.
we spent new's year eve celebrating with 2 awesome families: the schooneys and the thomas'.
the night was complete with yummy food, a 2,000 winter castle puzzle, and a skype with Josh and Erin from GA (martha's sister).
