A Week with Auntie Kate!

It's been almost a year since we've had our favorite Auntie Kate down for a visit! Of course we've seen her several times up in Seattle over the last year but it's always great to have her down to our pad!

We definitely kept her busy! :) We had her painting, blowing bubbles, chasing after Maya on her Skuut bike, installing faucets and sinks, flirting with the counter top man and many other tasks! She was a great help to us and it's always hard to fill the space after we send her back home.

We are darn close to having our kitchen "done". We have a few tasks left...outlets/switches, touch up paint and molding. But just to look back here is a before from 3 years ago when we bought the house and here it is as it looks tonight. (please don't look at the dishes in the sink)



It is definitely feeling like "us" rather than a room we are tolerating and living with! During the faucet installation everyone ended up under the sink at some point...including me with my big belly hanging out for the world to see! There are pictures but I won't subject anyone to them! :)

We had a great Mother's Day today. We were busy but not horribly so. Danny mowed and entertained Maya. I painted the pantry and bathroom doors white and did laundry. Maya got me Juno and orange tic tacs! I think Danny and I are pondering getting a big hammock for the backyard for a joint Mother's Day/Father's Day present but as of yet we are just enjoying each other's company!

Here are some pictures from the week! Enjoy...and hopefully I will be a little more on the game of updating the blog!
