Soccer Season

Before we even had kids, David dreamed of the day he could coach his own child's soccor team. Well, the time has arrived!!! Ella and Coach Dad had their first soccer practice tonight! First game is in a 10 days. Go Tinkerbells!


Ella needed some pre-practice energy.

Happy 35th Birthday David!

Mexican food was the birthday lunch of choice, and the boat and travel show our fun outing. Happy Birthday Luva!

Snowy Saturday

New House

I've been busy, busy planning every little detail of our new house. It's fun, but very time consuming....I have SO much more to do!

On Wednesday I visited with our cabinetry maker. He was gracious enough to show Devon the work area and big machinery. Devon thought it was so cool! He even made off with some wood and a cool hat!









This decision process is overwhelming to say the least. I really like so many things! I don't have an exact style so I've just been pulling pics out of magazines and off the internet to help solidify my choices.

Here is my "inspiration" kitchen. White glazed cabinets, dark tumbled marble back splash, dark granite counter-top and wood floors. (And I love this light fixture!)



















This is my Granite slab. Pretty, huh?










My big decision now is whether to go with painted baseboards and doors or stained baseboards/doors? The wood floor will extend thru the entry, living room and kitchen. I had such a bad experience with painted baseboards (so hard to clean) in my last house, but the painted look is so much more economical! Uhggg... I need help!??

Our white White Christmas

We woke up to gigantic snow piles reflecting bright glistening sunshine through our windows! What a Christmas to remember!
