Before and after


Can you believe this is the same house? What a difference! Now, I've got to get on the ball and finish the backsplash.






Kris and Koop



Grandpa and the kids.
Andrew and Livi



The Merrill Clan

I can't believe that I didn't take any pictures of the entire family together. I've got to do that when we all get together again in June. But, my parents and my brother and his family all came to visit. Dad and Kris made new cabinets for the house, drove all the way here (two very long days through ice, sleet and snow-in April!) took out my old cabinets and put in their beautiful masterpieces. Yea, I'm spoiled. Everything is gorgeous, if I do say so myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mom, Sarah and the kids flew. Kooper had so much fun telling me about the plane ride. It was adorable. And, I got to see my princess niece for the first time. I have to say, my favorite part of having all of them here was watching Andrew and Livi play together. It is sad to think that when they see each other again they will both be bigger. I suppose that goes for the other ones too, but the little babies grow far too fast. Sammi and Alex had a blast having a playmate for a few days and were just as sad to see Kooper go as Grandma and Grandpa. With the house undergoing demolition and 11 people in the house, there were crazy moments. But, it was so nice to have everyone together. Love you guys.
