Finished with Project #1 and Now....

Kitchen before remodel.
View from entry of our living room before the remodel.
View from entry now. Notice the openness and bar/lights added in between the kitchen and living room.



Picture of the kitchen after remodel. Notice the granite counter tops and new cabinets. Yeah!
















So we are finished with our remodeling of our kitchen/living room area. I absolutely LOVE it! Our house looks so much larger and brighter. I have twice the counter space and a larger stainless steel sink as well as a cool bar top and a total of 9 more lights in the house!

Now Project #2 is in progress. We are going to tile our kitchen, dining room, hall and part of our living room. The living room will have a new carpet inlay under the couches and coffee table area. It is another big job, but it will look great when it is all done.

Besides all the new house stuff, Ledger will be 1 in 2 days! I didn't really think that was going to make me sad and I always wondered why parents got sad that their kids were growing up and becoming more independent. That was a good thing right?? Well, now I get it. They are sad because they are growing up and becoming more independent. Did that make any sense?? Speaking of being more independent....

Ledger has been getting closer to walking, although not quite there yet. He has been standing up on his own for short stints and he took one step in the bathtub last night! I am hoping that he will walk for the first time on his first birthday or at his first birthday party. Both Bobby & I walked for the first time on our first birthdays. Hoping he will follow Mama & Dada tradition. We will see.

Bobby is at Cal Berkley with the boys for football camp right now. He left for camp with an eye infection (he got it camping in Nevada! Ouch!) and a sinus infection. I hope he holds up okay with all of that going on. I'll let everyone know how he did when he gets back.

My kiddo is asleep and Bobby is gone so I think I will sign off, fill the tub up with bubbles, take a little bath, read some of my book, and go to bed early.

Wow! Did that just make me sound old or what??;)
