Kitchen Update & More

We have a ceiling now. Since I took these pictures they have also finished texturing the walls and ceiling. The painters are supposed to come today to paint, but I haven't seen them yet. Next week we'll get our cabinets in.

I can't quite get over how small this new window looks. The window is the only thing I'm not sure about with the remodel. I'll be glad to have a little more cabinet space and plugs, but I think I'm really going to miss the big window.

In other news, Sydney had her soccer playoffs this weekend. Natalie is fun to watch, but it is really fun to watch the older girls. They are on a full size field and their abilities/teamwork make it so much fun to watch. Sydney in the middle looking down. She's a lot smaller than most of her teammates (the coaches give them their number by size and she's #2), but she's a firecracker! She played most of the first game which they won 2-0 and the coach asked if it was okay if she could play the entire 2nd game without subbing out. Keep in mind they play on a full sized field and she's a midfielder which means she runs almost the entire length of the field (as opposed to staying on the offensive or defensive side). That girl is tireless!! She kept her energy up the entire 2nd game and had some great assists and steals. They won again 2-0. They ended up taking second place after losing in the first place playoff on Sunday. Sydney doesn't play Sunday games so she felt bad not being there to support her team, but we're proud that she is so determined to keep the Sabbath. Here's Olivia's new little friends. She calls them her babies and we have plenty in our front yard to keep her entertained. She also likes the big snails, but she's not happy with them right now because she says they're not playing with her (in fact she was in tears over it).

Way to go Syd! I'm sleepy just thinking about all that running. I don't know about Olivia's choice in friends. Funny story though!

Oh Olivia, what a cutie! And way to go Sydney...awesome job. Can't wait to see your remodel, I'm sure it's going to look great. Even with the smaller window.
