Our kitchen

After spending months pouring over possible designs for our kitchen, and even getting a black eye in the process of installing it, I am reaping the benefits. I love our kitchen. It came out just right, and I think it looks an awful lot like I thought it would. I can't wait to have our house warming party so that I can put both ovens to good use. We're still working on picking the right backsplash, but I think we've decided. Just another project in the long list.

An oldie but a goodie.

Just cleaning up old files, and I found this.

Sophie's Triathalon

Sophie finished 5th overall for her age group and first for the 7year old girls! She also got the fastest swim time. I asked her if she wanted to do it again next year, and it seems to be a tradition. Hopefully Matt and I will get our act together for next year too.

LA county fair

This year Sophie entered some of her artwork for the county fair. She got a first and second place! Her mobile is melted crayons and the tree is acrylics.

Welcome to high speed internet....

Waiting for her triathalon...I'll post the results in a blog...

Before the county fair parade.

I think Olivia was buying hamburgers from Sophie. I don't know why she was wearing goggles.

first day in our new house

Finally I feel connected to the 21st century again. I can't do much surfing at work, and today (for my birthday) we got internet whoo hoo! I'll start posting furiously.
