You must click through her pages of photos to see more extensively the gift/talent God has given her. Here's a sample!

Claire!!

Claire arrived at 8:30pm Saturday, April 12th. She weighs 8lbs 3oz, 22 inches long. She has long fingers and toes and black curly hair (like her daddy). She looks like Lisa (and her cousin Buzz), but has many Chris similarities too.



Here they are as a family:

Fireplace Done!!

Dick completed the crown molding around the fireplace last night. It is officially done!!!! We are thoroughly enjoying the masterpiece. It has a much bigger presence in our home than we originally thought, but we like it nonetheless. We think it has that old world charm and elegance we were looking for.

Two Projects Completed!

Over the last two weekends, Dick has been finishing up the built-in buffet. He placed glass shelves in the unit so that the puck lights could shine through and show off the china and crystle that belonged to his mother. It's great to enjoy the fruit of our labor and to have a sense of accomplishment.


The next project was the fireplace. Dick's vision all along was to have bookshelves on each side of the fireplace. He finally finished it off on Monday. Doesn't it look lovely? It has that old world charm that fits with the age of the building. He needs to put crown molding up next to the ceiling, but at least the fireplace is done and another completion to enjoy.
