Kitchen Remodel? Oh yeah, we're finally moving forward . . .

These are the cabinets we had built from a local cabinet maker to match the rest of our cabinets. This one we had "feet" attached to make it look like a piece of furniture.

This is one of the original cabinets, an upper cabinet, that will be installed on the wall above the cabinet with the feet.

These corner shelves will be attached to the upper cabinet, on the right side.

This is the microwave, oven and warming drawer appliances tower. To the left is a cabinet where our wine cooler will be "built in".

All the existing cabinets will be torn out in the next week or too and the new ones installed including the ones you see above.

Ragnar Relay 2011 San Francisco to Napa Valley Sept. 16-17

This digital slideshow created with Smilebox

What's Ragnar? A 24 hour relay race involving a team of 12 who take turns and run 3 different times to ultimately end up at the designated destination. We ran from San Francisco to Calistoga. It was quite the experience and a whole lot of fun! I, Cami, ran my first leg at around 9:30am 5.4 miles. My second leg was at 7:45pm 3.3 miles and my last leg was at 5am the following morning 5.4 miles. I was challenged but not defeated by any means. It was more of a personal test to see how I'd hold up. There are deffinately going to be more races in my future.

Our Florida Vacation

We went back East to visit Grandma Gail for 16 days.  Spent a week at Daytona beach in a condo and also visited Universal Studios Island Adventure to experience The Wizardly World of Harry Potter.  The only way you could see the inside of the castle was to wait in line for the simulation ride.  The hour wait was worth every minute!

Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.  This is at the end of Daytona Beach.  It's a museum but still works as a lighthouse too.

A community effort to build this sandcastle.  It was a days work.

The Alantic Ocean was about 73 degrees.  That was nice since the air was 92 degrees plus 95 degree humidity!

At the top of the lighthouse.

Our condo for the week.

The butterbear was great.  You could order it frozen or cold.  We had the frozen version and the froth on top was like buterscotch cream.  It tasted like a frozen carmel slushy.  Seriously sweet!

The 205 steps we climbed to the top of the lighthouse.  Kind of scary but the views were amazing!

Hagrid's Hut.  You walk by it while waiting to ride the Hippogriff rollercoaster.     Aside the 90 degree weather every day, we stayed pretty cool and enjoyed our time with Grandma!

Summer! It's finally here . . .

First day swimming in our pool.  It's finally reached 84 degrees, warm enough for us folks!  It's hard to believe we are swimming because it's been so cool this year.  We were swimming last year by the end of May!  Finally, let the fun begin!

Ceiling has been lifted. . .

Our pendant lights are wired and hung over the breakfast bar!   The shades are a clear glass with seeded texture.   Our ceiling is drying and will need texture and paint to be complete!

The kitchen already feels larger!  It's getting exciting!

TOOTHLESS BEAUTY!

Brooke's self portrait with both front teeth gone!  She lost the second tooth yesterday, literally, so we plan to write a letter to the tooth fairy in hopes she'll still visit!
