Kitchen Continued

My new camera is having troubles--I think it is the USB cord. I am taking pictures on Jillian's camera-- better than nothing!

We are down to details. Notice the molding on the top and bottom of the cabinets. My stove is in, and I love the double oven and flat cooktop! I made a chocolate cake last night and a roast for dinner today (well, technically Bret put the roast in). I hope I like the flat cooktop when canning season rolls around. The salesmen told me I could can because the heating elements were larger. I love the trim around the doors in my entry way and in my laundry room. CAN YOU SEE HOW MUCH PAINTING I HAVE TO DO?!?!

Tomorrow countertops and backspash are scheduled. I'll take pictures!!! We are so excited.

View From the Hill

How do we reduce the pressure and enjoy our families more? "...recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction. Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said "The biggest mistake I made {as a parent} is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of {my three children} sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less" (from "Daughters of God", Ballard April 2008; click on image for complete article)
