Finally...

(Welcome to all those joining in the Open House.  Though this post is old, my kitchen looks exactly the same right now.  It was easier to link to an old post than to write a new one. [Well, the children are a lot older and there are nearly twice as many of them.] Lazy, I know. Thanks for stopping by and looking at the big ugly house!)

I know you all have hardly been able to bear the suspense as you wait for pictures of our new kitchen. Well, your torture is over.....


Our new kitchen, complete with children helping make strawberry shortcake:

The inside of the pantry:
One side of the butler's pantry:
The other side of the butler's pantry:

The guest room:

Now, about that camera. I have a tip for everyone. If you think your digital camera is broken, try using a different memory card before purchasing an expensive new one. It could just be the memory card is bad. I speak from experience. The above pictures were taken by our old camera and this picture was taken with the new one:
So, I'm in a quandary. The old camera takes decent pictures, but I think the new one takes better ones. But, financially, I should really return the new one...it's cost wasn't really in the budget what with hospital bills and all. But the new one takes really good pictures...

And a bonus picture for making it this far. K needs a haircut, but we've been waiting to let the bald patches grow in a bit so he doesn't look even funnier after the haircut.
