Miscellaneous

Jacob and Grandpa at the Thorson ranch.
New love--his too-small cowboy boots.

New countertop. Disregard the knobs on those false drawers. They now match those of the "real" drawers.

Latest house pictures.

Looking at the house from the southwest. Of the snow you see in this picture, there is now just a little drift by the front porch. Yay spring!

Mechanical room.

My new washer and dryer--aren't they pretty?!?


Kitchen with new dishwasher (my first ever!) and stove/double oven.



Kitchen and new fridge.




Kitchen opposite fridge.





Foyer.






Fireplace in great room.







Master bathroom.








Whirlpool tub.









Another view of the foyer.










Easter Eggs

"Let me at 'em!"

"No, Mom, I'll do it."




"CHEESE!"





















Jacob had fun coloring Easter eggs-especially when he would just dunk his whole hand in the cup of dye. Grandpa enjoyed "egg"ing him on!

A Duet







More new stuff

Today our appliances came, although they won't be installed for a few weeks yet. They look so big! I've never had any brand new appliance let alone all at once, so I'm excited about this! Carpets also came, but they're still rolled up, so couldn't get a really good look at those. The kitchen will be templated for the countertop next week. Was going to be today, but they come from Fargo, and are backed up due to the flood, of course. We chose granite. The color is a gray with a brownish/warm tone to it. This weekend I really need to wash the slate floor in the foyer and get the grout lines sealed.
