The house

Many of you have asked how the house is coming.  Well, here it is.  There is still lots to do:  the whole basement, a cupboard in the kitchen, finishing the kitchen floor, a mantle over the fireplace, and I can't even begin the list on the outside!  But, this is what we have so far!

We also found some time to decorate Easter cut out cookies. We missed this tradition at Christmas, so it was fun to do it now.

And we took our annual Robin Bird Egg Lipstick picture.

All four kids had soccer games on Saturday.  It was busy but fun to watch them in action again.  And Sunday night game night was Peanuts.  Oh yes, I have passed it on to the next generation!  Some of you know the game as Dutch Blitz.  Good times!

Have a good week!
