We are still here!

Wow!  It has been over a month since I've posted.  I'm sorry about that.  Life over here has been super busy: house remodel, Christmas decorating, shopping, & baking, having a 2 year old, work, classes/studying. 

Our big change is the remodel!  Here are some pictures of our house & Lucy's 2nd birthday party which was the Saturday after Thanksgiving.


Looking into the kitchen from the living room.



Our "wine area" in the dining room.



Our new entertainment center area in the living room.  We still don't have the stone on the fireplace.  Apparently the guy who was supposed to order it got fired before ordering it and no one realized it.



This was the spread for Lucy's party.  We had a butterfly theme.



Lucy had a lot of fun at the party.  Here she is wearing her new princess dress from Aunt Jenna and I have no idea what is in her hands.  When she opened up clothes from Grandma Ehinger, she threw the package as soon as she knew it was only clothes.  Then when all the gifts were open she came over to me and with her hand by her mouth like she was telling a secret said "More presents?"  Everyone heard and laughed so hard! 

We love our remodeled kitchen and
