These pictures are backwards so think of the process of going from the bottom up. We made sure we had the cabinets IN OUR HOUSE before we took out the old one. I knew that it was going to be awful with out a kitchen so we waited until the last possile moment to not have a kitchen. The bottom picture is picking up the cabinets from IKEA. There were so many boxes and we soon began to figure out that this was a little more complicated but we were and still are happy with our decision to go with IKEA for our cabinets. The next picture of course is the demolition of the white kitchen and as you can tell I went the opposite for the new kitchen. I love these cabinets. The top two corner cabinets have lazy susans in them and one of the bottom two also has one but the other corner has a half lazy susan. I love it and I am so excited to see the finished project but the countertops are taking a little bit longer than we thought (imagine that).
I am really grateful for James for his help with hanging the cabinets. It was really stressful with the not so straight walls and ceiling. It is nice to have family that is willing to help with this project. Leo and I are excited to get it done so we can go have some fun sometime soon. You know what they say though, you have to work before you can play!!! Sometimes it sucks but you have to do what you have to do to get it done!!! I am hoping that the done part comes soon!!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures of our sweet Abigail!!! She had her two month checkup and she is 9 lbs. and 15 oz. She is chunking up pretty good. She seems to be built like her big brother Dakota. Chubby thighs and all. She did so good and cried good for the many shots that she had to get. Hopefully we will find our camera and the charger and take some better pictures. She is changing so fast and she is just TOO CUTE not to take pictures of...Grandma needs to come back she is EXCELLENT at getting pictures an lots of them. She is smiling and giggling so much and I want to get them on camera. She is a good baby and a great addition to our crazy but fun little family and we would not be us with out her!!! We love you Abby Rae!!!

Sorry about the lack of posts!!! According to this I haven't even had a baby yet!!! Life has just been to busy with trying to finish the house and take of three kids instead of just two. When I am not being a mom I am being a weed eater, construction worker, interior designer(which I am not good at...i can't even decide what color to paint the kitchen!!!) among other things that I am not used to o good at.
The house is coming along and Leo is back to work and we are still trying to figure out how to juggle all of this homeowner/parents to 3 kids thing and still have a wonderful marriage!!! Surprisingly I think that we are ok. It is just the blog that is feeling neglected and I think that is fine for now. We have lost yet another camera so pictures are few and far between.
