There's a Light at the End of the Tunnel!

You know, when you start off a blog post with a super awesome picture of such a handsome young man, you really need to use good words and try to make this the most eloquently written blog post ever...either that or you just put in more pictures and not take the chance of sullying up the cool picture with inadequate words.

We just got Kai's 1 year photos taken. We have had a family picture taken at each of Kai's quarterly photo shoots. I am surely biased, but I think that the Lesnets are one good looking family!

Kai got in a fight with an end table in our family room on Friday. He and Melissa, our nanny, were chasing each other around and Kai tripped and face planted in to the table. Kai split his lip and got a bloody nose but barely cried..he's one tough hombre!



I am sure that several of you loyal readers out there are hoping for a progress report from last weekends "divide and conquer" home improvement marathon. Well, I had high hopes for the weekend but I was only able to complete the master suite. Stephanie and Kai were impressed though and that's all that really matters.

Here is kind of a before picture of our master closet. I had already removed 1 of the wire shelves but I did remember to take an "almost before" picture. That's not so bad.

Here is our master bath before weekend home makeover.

Here is the after picture of our master closet. Pretty smooth huh?"
The after shots of the master bath. Notice the snazzy new vanity lights?
Although I did not get nearly as much done as I had planned, I do know that I wouldn't have completed anything if not for all of the help that A.J. Smith gave me on Saturday. He is such a great friend and we work very well together on projects.

I did not get any of the work done in the kitchen or mud room that I had planned. It may be a little while until I get up the ambition to get started on that!

In other news, our nanny Melissa is going to start working with another family next week so this is our last week with her. We will miss her. She has done a great job with Kai. Please pray for the Indiana Lesnets as Kai starts going to school every day. This is going to be quite the transition for us and we can most definitely use the prayers.
