I suppose all my updates should begin that way since I am always behind on updating….. Anyways, earlier this summer my sister Jessica came to visit for about 10 days.  She was so much help and fun to have here. I really missed her after she left.  Because there are 9 years between her and I, we have never had a lot of time to hang out and really enjoy each other’s company.  That’s what made this visit so special.  We just spent time together.  The kids loved having her here and asked when she was coming back for weeks after she went home.  We played, and went swimming, and (drumroll please).................

FINISHED PAINTING MY KITCHEN CABINETS!!!! which I have refinished twice now and have been working on them for over a year but that is besides the point.  So after a year of no cabinet doors I would like to finally announce to everyone that they are done!!! I love them, but most of all I am just glad they are done. And just in time too, because Alivia is into everything these days! So here are a few pictures of her time here and my cabinets.
