Baptism and Remodel

Sunday we went to Holy Disciples Parish here in Puyallup to witness my little cousins baptism! How fun! I had never been to a Catholic Mass, other than for Sean's Grandfathers funeral. This mass, was a bit different than that one. His Grandfathers church was gorgeous, beautiful solid wooden pews, stained glass, stone building, kind of dark actually, but not in a bad way. This church was brighter, no pews just chairs, and instead of kneeling we stood and sat. The Priest or Father, I'm really not sure what to call him because I heard both..but I think Father I heard more, anyways, he delivered a great message, added some humor into it and made it a lot of fun for my whole family- who none of us had been to Catholic Mass, except my Dad who grew up Roman Catholic, he said this mass was different than he grew up with too.
My cousin asked me to take pictures, which I tried, but because we could use no flash, and because there was a wall of windows behind them shining light on their backside, they didn't turn out to my standards..so we are doing a little mini session this week of him in his Baptismal outfit with his bible and things. :) Anyway, it was a great day, I enjoyed their church, and the most special event we got to witness!

We have been working on our kitchen..I have been in prayer for Patience because let me tell you, having a dis functional kitchen and a large mess is just rough for me. 

Ill include some pictures so you can see for yourselves. Im so excited for the finished product. Im enjoying how open my kitchen is without the top cabinets, we had custom cabinets that came with the house that were just HUGE..my new cabinets will be drop so I have a little space between the ceiling and top of the cabinet, creating a little more openess.

The start

 Still have lots of work to do, like painting the ceilings  that Im not doing the boys are, and painting my dining room. Our house is painted in a color called Navajo White, but against WHITE it looks DIRTY and its driving me NUTS! And let me say, I absolutely despise Knockdown wall texture!!!!
