That thing where you have the floors refinished

And destroy the rest of the house.

This was their first attempt to move the couch from the living room into the family room.

I had to remove myself for the second attempt (that one worked).

Fridge in the hall.

Piano and some kitchen essentials in the laundry room.

The process was dirty and loud.

Very, very dirty.

They did not do one thing to mitigate the dust. Had we been aware, we would have made some attempts ourselves.

It was very pretty after they were done.

Except for everywhere else.

We had fun foods and ate in weird places.

This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime event.

I hate winter

and I missed my dentist appointment.

It’s 62F in Greenville, SC today, by the way.

It’s snow fun

Before and after photos.

I love it when Asher comes over to play. He and Katriel use imagination in the all the best ways.

Mickey Minnie Mask

I don’t like masks. I almost never wear them outside of work. But if I have to wear one, I am tickled to wear the one my friend Lynn made me and sent me from Scotland.

Another project

January 14, 2021 | Stacy

Here we go with another home project.

While we painted the cupboards and added the “ship lap” wall a few years ago, the counter has needed attention since we moved in. So many times we’ve explored how to replace it. But the odd angle has made it less than straight forward. We also have never wanted to invest a LOT of money into a laundry room countertop.

But after some time on Pinterest, I found a product we were interested in using.

It was seriously easy to do.

Base coat. Spread the flecks. Seal.

The sink is just a run of the mill stainless steel sink. We had a few ups and downs finding a faucet that worked, but John found a way to make this one connect well. I am extremely happy with the outcome.

Just say yum.

Tab endeavored to make a chocolate chip cooking with an Oreo inside.

Lemeetellyou.

It works!

Tinker Toy-ing

January 8, 2021 | Stacy

I should have asked if construction jobs were easier to complete if the pieces were color sorted first.

She made an entire Toy Story Land.

I {heart} her.

Women of the Bible

Some beautiful shirts for some beautiful girls.

2020 Christmas… uncancelable

December 26, 2020 | Stacy

While our Christmas Eve service was cancelled, there was no stopping us for Christmas Day… and we determined to enjoy it.

The kids were up early and we waited for Stewart and Noelle to arrive (he had gone out to her town for Christmas Eve).

Ba and Poppy weren’t feeling up to the AM outing this year and we missed them.

Gifting was insane, as usual.

Tab had beautiful homemade art work for each of us.

this is mine, from our epic Disney Trip last year.

Kelly wrapped Katriel’s gift in a chip box and we momentarily had Katriel convinced she had a giant box of chips. Her acceptance level for that was beautiful.
