Willa is learning to swim!

Willa just loves the pool, even when she is cold and shivering, she refuses to get out...I think she will be a little fish and love water like the rest of this family!

she has learned to float, do the doggie paddle (a little) and go under water...we are so proud of you Willamina Grace!



...mommy says you are going to have swimming lessons when you get home!

while the boys are away...

James and his buddies flew in yesterday...but not for long...off they went on a motorcycle trip-

back 'em out boys...

our quiet little street was not so quiet as they warmed the bikes up and took off!

while they're away, of course we will play!

THE REVEAL!

Finally! After adding some final touches last night to our kitchen, I feel I can reveal some pictures! We are almost done...we need to add the rest of the knobs to cabinets/drawers and install the trim kit for the microwave, get a Roman Shade and install the backsplash, and that's it, finito! Ok, the backsplash is a pretty big thing, but that's going to take me a bit to figure out yet.

I forgot to take before pics...so here are some as I was running out the door to catch an airplane in December, leaving Dan to get this project going!!! You are missing most of the island/peninsula here and the blue carpeting on the floor...but you get the picture, pretty ugly, outdated...


take two...


No problem guys, just follow these diagrams!!!


Floor in progress...Dan just loves me signing him up for these projects...thanks to brother Tim for coming over and jumping in!!!


Near completion on the floor!


Wa la! Miracle workers!!! Is my husband talented or what??







And a nice bottle of wine - note the name!! - found in Tucson on our last visit!

I am amazed at Dan's talent...if he doesn't know how to do something, he learns...there is no stopping him!! Thanks Dan, for making all my dreams come true!!! :)

Fun in Florida!

Enjoying our time in Florida this winter...even though I'm currently in snowy, icy, COLD Michigan. I must admit I'm glad to be home! That said, we head back down to Florida next week. Dan has a show in Boca Raton the first weekend in Feb!


Enjoy some videos at the sprinkle park...Willa and Peyton are loving it!





Out to lunch...



This was a GREAT lunch! A must do for all visitors :)
