T-Ball

It’s finally Megan’s turn!  She had her first practice a couple of weeks ago.  She did so great!  She could not have been happier and couldn’t wait for her first real game.  She’s a GIANT!

Another great idea…

I have hated our fireplace since the moment I saw it.  I’m not sure if it’s the marble-ish tiles, pink grout, the varying widths of grout, the brass and black doors, or the over zealous use of silicone…

So last night around midnight I made another search of mantles.  I saved a picture of one I like a lot.  After church I showed Harvey the picture. He liked it too and I think jokingly, told me to chip a piece off to see what was under.  We have done enough in this house to know nothing was done correctly and it will be a big pain for us, but you can’t let that stop you!  So at 1pm, with no real plan…

For a brief moment I thought I was going to find beautiful brick and not have to replace it all.

I think it already looks better than the old one!  Unfortunately the brick isn’t pretty or done well so we will have to redo that.  It is going to be so beautiful though!  Harvey just loves when I stay up and look up stuff on the computer!
