We Do Get Some Nice Days in Rochester

It was snowing today so I thought I should post these pictures to remind myself that we do get sunshine and warmer weather every so often. David snapped these photos when Toni visited. There's a playground at the end of our street and this was the first time the kids had been since the summer!

Congratulations!

Kate and Steve got engaged yesterday! Talk about unique proposal! Thrilled for you both. Here's the link to the story: Kate and Steve . We can't wait to see what the future holds. We also would like to submit your names for Amazing Race. If we're your agents, can we get a slice of the pie? Haha. Cheers!!

Look at our own little Bob Villa. Jack helped Dave assemble this shoe shelf. He is so proud of it!

• stengled - when your phone or toy is getting lots of feedback or static because the battery is low.


• bungled - when you have alot of phlegm in your throat


• crump - vomit


• muster - a blister on her toe


• tippy - her go-to adjective..."I'm feeling tippy. This looks tippy."

Cabinet Facelift

You might remember this is what our cabinets looked like when we moved into our house. Please note the beautiful wallpaper, fun square light and oak strips that adorn each cabinet.

And here's what they look like today. Wallpaper gone. Oak strips painted to match the cabinets. Hardware installed. David helped make the tranformation possible. We can live with this for awhile. The strips were making me cringe every time I looked at the kitchen. They're just not my thing. I think the hardware helps alot too.

Fun!

We had beautiful weather when Toni was here. It was so good for the soul! We've been cooped up for awhile. On Saturday we were able to sit outside, grill, take the kids to the playground and then go for an ice cream. It was a perfect day. Funny story... We went to Bill Gray's to get an Abbotts's cone on Saturday night. The place was packed. We went to sit down and on the radio the song, "Life is a Highway" came on. Jack loves this song. It's in the Cars movie. Well the song comes on and all of the sudden Jack is standing up next to our booth, facing the rest of the restaurant, and yells, "ATTENTION EVERYONE! Can you please be quiet so I can hear my song?!" He's already commanding crowds.
