We have been working on the kitchen and it is coming along great. We have painted and finished the back splash and counter top. Actually Malcolm and Grandpa Ernie did the whole thing. We just painted. I plan on finishing the paint up in the kitchen this weekend. We love it so far! The butcher block before we oiled it.
After the oil.
The backsplash project in progress.
The new look around the stove.
We took a field trip to New Jersey for my niece's christening. It was so nice to see Sweet Caroline and meet Baby Isabel. My brother Scott and SIL Christine are adjusting to life with two kids. My mother and my grandmother were surrounded by grandchildren. I got my baby-fix.
Chelsea is still in ballerina mode! Here she is posing in the tutu that she got from Uncle Scott, Tita, Sweet Caroline and Isabel.
Actually I have been thinking about giving up the blog. I just don't have the time right now. I don't want to close the blog. I just want to not feel stressed out if I don't get to posting every week. It ends up being another thing that I feel guilty about. It started off as fun, but I guess it has become a little bit of a chore now.
I am very close to hitting my 100th entry, though! So I may hang in there for another two posts. We shall see!

Hey Amy, Its so nice to see how things are coming from way over here. I wouldn't blame you to give it up. Things are just getting so crazy here with kids activities and such. Maybe you shouldn't think about it being a once a week thing and more like a once a month or once every other month. Just a suggestion....I'm giving mine up when I come home. Have to trade in the adventures for regular ole me!
The kitchen is coming along beautifully!! And what nice family pictures you got at the Christening. But the picture of Chelsea aka Ballerina is the best! Blogging does indeed take time and those kids are only young once. I know I wouldn't have had time when mine were that age. It's understandable that it is hard to fit it in. You need to do what is right for you and your family.Good luck with the decision!!
I would really miss the updates on and pictures of the kids, but I completely understand about the time issue, and if time is tight, the blog should probably be one of the first things to go. Maybe you could post occasionally, like I do with Joseph's pictures, so we can keep up! Whatever you choose, it will be the right decision for you. Thanks for all the postings!
Amy, your kitchen looks like a magazine! You {guys?--don't know how much John had to do with it!} did a beautiful job with all your choices. I know what you mean about the blog thing. Managing both of mine is a lot at times, but then I remember to tell myself that I am really only blogging for me (at least the Remember Today one). And if i don't get to it that day, or week--oh well. I can catch up. I love catching up with you online, and you'll have a record of some of those memories you all are making over there! Don't stress if you can't post often--enjoy posting when you can. Just my two cents (mostly b/c I don't want to see you close up shop!)
