kitchen, belly, and new niece!

keith has been working very hard over the last 2 weeks in the kitchen and has gotten all of the cabinets stained and the walls painted. here's the before

and the after

we still want to redo the counters and the floor, but so far we are very happy!!

as far as the belly goes, we are now at 28 weeks and officially in the 3rd trimester! it seems like the first 12 weeks went by so slowly and now i feel like the next 12 will be over before we know it. we are so excited to meet our son.

our new niece was born today!! anna louise and mom are doing very well. i can't wait to meet her, too!
