From Safety Monitor to counter top maker

Here is Mike Lookinland (aka Bobby Brady, of Brady Bunch fame) with one of the counter tops he made for our new house. We made him pose for photos and autograph some of our Brady memorabilia (including DVDs, book and even a Bobby Brady action figure). Instead of letting our kids grow up with Jesse James or Joe Namath as their heroes, they are growing up idolizing the counter top maker.

Not in Kansas anymore. . .

Photos from Bert & Myrn's bathroom. Yes, its a Toto Hi-Riser!!

limeade, powerade, cotton candy

The two different sides of the girls room. The lime green carpet on the floor is going to cover the stage. Uhm, an interesting choice of colors. Jill actually painted the dark blue and lime green walls.

the balcony

This is looking off the balcony out over the great room. We're going to have desk/computers and bookshelves up here.

a kitchen sorta like the one in our NYC apt.

Here is what our kitchen looks like as of 9.20.09. Notice there are no chairs or cereal bowls near the island; thats because we don't live here yet. Hopefully in a few more weeks! The appliances are sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.

I want a hamburger, no a cheeseburger. . .

In the basement we created a little play area under the stairs. I'm thinking we should paint McDonald's drive up windows on the wall.

Here is what the house looks like as of mid-August. We are hoping to move in by mid-September.
