Thanks Traci!!

Thanks to my friend Traci, I have a new look to my kitchen light. And I love it! I love cut glass fixtures, and the colors of these match fantastically with the kitchen.

Traci and her Husband Justin, bought their first home at the same time we bought ours. Its a great English Tudor that needed a lot of work, and they have worked hard. They replaced almost all the light fixtures in the house and this was one that they were junking. I'm so glad that they hadn't yet. They gave me two others as well that I cant wait to re-use.
This is what the sconces were originally a part of. It needed alot of work. Luckily I was able to simply turn the arms on my light fixture and place them on top.

Spring is here!! No wait.... It's winter again!

This is what last Friday looked like. It was a beautiful day. The kid's spent the morning outside playing (yes, in their jammies) and then we had a picnic lunch of PB & J's, hotdogs, and fries!

This is Ben saying "Cheese"

This is also what happens when your big sister dresses you for outside.

His snow pants (on backwards), her shoes (on backwards), and her coat. I think she might have known what was coming!! (Physic Kid?!)

This is what we woke up to on Sunday!!

It continued to snow the entire day.

Can you see the yellow flowers under the snow? Come back spring. We didn't get to play with you long enough.
