remodel part 1 of many

After years of discussing if we should add on, buy a new house, buy land and build a new house, we finally made a decision. We started our remodel project a couple weeks ago. The pictures are so un-interesting but so is a post with no pictures. It's a huge mess, my patio is all but gone, the driveway is cluttered with large equipment and tools, but the end result will be well worth it.



Here is the new view from my bedroom window. It's my very own attached garage right off a brand new mudroom. Can't you see it? The new kitchen and den are not shown here, but they look pretty much the same.

haircut

Remember the fauxhawk?



I finally gave in on the real deal. He's still pretty darn cute if you ask me.

nieces

I have a lot of nieces and nephews. Two of them are going to be seniors this coming year. My sister-in-law asked me to take their senior pictures. I gave her the "I'm not a professional" disclaimer, and they showed up on my doorstep anyway. I am so happy they did. We had such a great time! This was a great opportunity for me to spend time with the girls. They are silly and sweet (yes, Jolie, they are sweet!) and a lot of fun. I don't think I've realized over the years how much they've grown up. Thank you Heidi and Haley for letting me part of this time in your lives.
