Here's a sneak peak pic of my bathroom wall.   Frames and art pieces just went up and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. These paintings were done by Jesse Miller and have special meaning to me for two reasons.   #1 I spent a few years of my college days at BYU-Hawaii on the North Shore of Oahu. These scenes bring back a lot of very found memories. #2 My cousin, Jesse Miller, painted these. Not only is he a very talented artist but is one of those hot surfers and California

 One year ago, "Three Men and a Lady" became "4 Men 1 Lady". Oh, I still remember that sunny, Tucson day. Biking in the morning. Contractions at noon. 9 lb, 10 oz baby at 6:30pm with nothing but a stick to gnaw on for the pain throughout the whole delivery. Oh yes, the old fashioned way experience.

I realize I'm no Van Gough but I knew my Eiki could help me fake it. As you may remember, this is my new chalkboard, pantry barn door... In a house full of four men, we're currently working on manners at the dinner table (a lifetime endeavor I'm sure). So I printed some manners on a

 Our new pantry door just got installed! (Actually it's been on for a month and I'm just now finding time to take pictures). The old layout had no pantry at all so it was important to definitely make room for one with the new layout.  Please excuse the un-organization in there...I'm getting around to it.
