Grandma and Grandpa Jones

We had a wonderful surprise visit from Wes' parents over Labor Day weekend. They made a week trip out from Nebraska to look at a building to purchase. While they were here we had a good time and they enjoyed (I hope) spending time with Piper. She was a very happy little girl who entertained all of us and helped around the house as much as she could.

We also had the privledge of their help in our kitchen. We spent our 4th of July weekend tiling a backsplash, I then spent the next week trying to get it grouted between tending to a fussy baby at the time. I always said I hated our stainless steal sink, so on our trip to Home Depot one night to get a lawn mower we picked up a cast iron sink to install some day. Well that some day came. I am so very thankful to Papa Joe and Bonnie for their willingness to use their time here helping us with home improvement projects. I love my new sink and it looks so good surrounded by the back splash. What do you think. How does my "new" kitchen look?

We are now working on a couple more tiling projects. We are going to tile above the surrounds in all three bathrooms from surround to ceiling and also one strip down the side.

Every time people come to our house they comment on our large bean bag. It has a cover from Love Sac but the innerds are certainly not from the same place. Being a poor college student when I made it I was only able to stuff it with 2 bags of beans and the rest is cut up foam mattresses. It is really quite comfortable but has to be re-fluffed if you get up and then want to sut down again. Except of course for a little girl that weighs less than 15 pounds.

We also had the wonderful opportunity to take care of the neighbors little boy. We has fun watching them sleep and play together. We hope they become the best of friends.
