Kitchen!

The kitchen is 95% done and it looks beautiful!  I didn't want to give it away with a midweek countertop post late last week because now we have backsplash too, and that makes a big difference.  It is now a completely working kitchen and we LOVE it!  We just have the grout for the backsplash, the outlets and light switches and the rest of the painting left to do to get to 100%.  

Here she is!

Nearly just as exciting, Luke turned 7 months old yesterday.  AND he has cut his first tooth:)  It is on the bottom left and is just starting to poke through.  He continues to work on his crawling skills, and can actually move from A to B pretty quickly.  So much so that Isolene asked us to put up the baby gate in front of the basement stairs.  So we did!

Last weekend we spent Saturday up in Wisconsin. G&G Mackus babysat PJ and Luke while Kristin, Cory, Matt & I saw our first movie in a theater since Luke was born.  It was a fun date.  Sunday we spent with G&G Baranko at our house, originally intended to put our kitchen back together but that didn't really end up happening.  It was a nice mild day so we decided to take Luke to the park down by Lake Michigan.  Yea, it wasn't as mild by the lake, but was still fun!  Luke loved watching the waves crash.

Luke in his new bath seat - lots of bathtime fun!   Thanks Uncle Mike Kurz!

Eating avocado out of the strainer - yummy and fun!
