Kitchen



Yay!, my kitchen is done! We got new cabinets and a counter top. It is so much better! Our cabinets were horrible. They were falling apart and all chewed up from the previous owners. I love my new ones! Matt's brother built them. If you can't tell from the pictures, they are cherry cabinets, and we have a black counter top now. We got a new sink too, but I didn't take a picture of it. Matt's brother and his family came over yesterday, and Matt made ribs on the grill. They were heavenly!

Ok. I have to tell you another story too. On Thursday night we were coming home from work. Matt and I drive together most days, so we were all in the car, This kid is turning left onto the road coming towards us, and he keeps turning. So he goes left of center and runs us off the road into this steep ditch. He slowed down and then kept driving away!!! We were practically on our side. Matt manages to get enough traction from the back to get us backed up. The kicker is the the cop wanted to cite Matt for failure to control since the other car drove away! Is that not total crap?! He didn't end up citing Matt, but I was so mad even at the thought. What were we supposed to do - let the guy hit us head on?! Crazy. Anyway, we were all safe, and that's what matters.

CONGRATULATIONS THRESS FAMILY!!



Congratulations Kara and Adam on their new addition, Sydney Addison! We went to see baby Sydney today. She was so perfect! She was so tiny too! I forgot how little newborns are. I'm used to lugging around my 30lb sack of potatoes! Sydney was so good the whole time we were there. Of course she took a poop when Matt held her, and his nose detected that immediately. Imagine that! She didn't even fuss when she had a dirty diaper. I was very proud of Laura too. She didn't fuss when Matt and I held Sydney, amazingly. We enjoyed meeting new Baby Thress.

Laura has been so happy in the mornings at school. Here is a pic of her eating her muffin at the table next to her friend, Abby. They were so stinkin' cute this morning!

Superbowl Sunday





Laura enjoyed the Superbowl tonight next to Daddy with her bowl of goldfish and her sippy. She was so cute. During the National Anthem, as Jennifer Hudson was getting towards the end, she started clapping.

It was a sports weekend. On Saturday she attended her first basketball game. We went to Ohio Wesleyan to watch Matt's cousin play. She loved watching all of the action. I think she liked the cheerleaders more than the basketball game, but she did really well. Another fun weekend...coming to an end.
