And heres the new kitchen.....!!

So I'm really pleased with how the kitchen turned out! It's very refreshing, brighter and a lot more cheery!! I really like how different shades of green the whole kitchen looks depending on lighting, some dark some light it is a cool effect
Here are a few before....sorry they are not the best but I think they show the dark red well enough to get an idea:-)
And here are the afters......I LOVE it!

Life in the Gaunt House

Well first of all I am SO happy to have a working computer again!!! I can't believe it's been since August since my last update. I'm happy to once again be able to post pictures most of all!
God has been good to us, we have all that we need and even more it seems. He gives us what we need in the most perfect timing:-)

Ben is in his 4th term of his apprenticeship and of course doing great with an A in the class. His dedication is admirable to me, he gets up early every day works hard at work, comes home plays with his kids, does homework and somehow makes time for me and him at night too. Thank you honey for working so hard for this family!

Benjamin started Kindergarten in the fall and absolutly LOVES it! He already has bestfriends and has grown so much this year, physically and mentally! A few months after school started he was begging me to let him walk into school alone, so I worked out something with his teacher so I knew he made it to class ok. Then he informed me I could'nt give him hugs and kisses in the morning dropping him off, because ''mom the other kids moms dont do that!''
Now he has been begging me to ride the bus home from school, so....yesterday was his first time riding it home and of course I had the video camera and embarrassed him!
Hah sorry honey that's what moms do:-)
Ella is going to be 4 in the summer and I swear it's like she is a teenager already. She is so mature for her age I have to remind myself....she is only 3 ! She is growing up to be a beautiful little girl inside and out, she loves Jesus and get's upset when someone doesn't have Jesus in their hearts...it's rather funny, we are working on the angry part of that:-)

I have been keeping busy with cleaning houses for some extra money, my hobbies knitting and sewing, and volunteering in Ben's class. I'm really enjoying this stage of my kids life, they bring such joy to me (and challenges!) Well I will be posting pictures in the next few days so stay tuned!
I will be updating this blog regularly now and I'm contemplating picking up my savings blog again???

God bless !!
