Grant, Christine, Grace, Thaddeus, Madelyn & Ephraim: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

We continue on updating our kitchen (still needs work). We bought a remnant piece of vinyl from a friend in the flooring business and then he was nice enough to help us install it. So, there is the old brown. So dirty with this weird black stuff in some places that never cleaned up and I tried everything! And here is the new!

It is a big difference. I keep thinking I'm in the wrong house. It is clean! (my favorite part!) Now we have to put up bead board and the floor moulding and paint the ceiling :)
