Hi! Thanks for thinking of us.
We all had a really nice Christmas. Grant wasn't as into the presents as I thought he'd be. He had so much going on, he'd get fixated on one thing and then not be interested in anything else. I guess pretty normal for his age. He had a busy couple days and I think has finally caught up on his sleep.

Here's a few pics:

Waiting for the excitement to start, lol:

New BS/Grante ... Advice needed on what to do with cabinets!!!
Q
Comments (13)
Since these cabinets have sentimental value to them, there's no way that I would do a kludge fix to them like gel staining. Gelstaining is for someone who is selling and moving. It's not really staining, and in fact obscures the grain pattern of the wood because of the high solids content. It's a work-around for cheap cabinets, not a solution to at all be considered for someone in your situation with something well made and sentimental to you. Treat them like fine furniture. I would take off the doors, number them, and find a local furniture refinisher who has a dip tank. Have the finish removed and then have them properly restained and finished with a catalyzed varnish. You can work on the frames yourself to save a little money, but have the refinisher do the staining and finishing for your so everything matches.

I'm getting so good at fixing stuff - anyone need help?

marti- yeah, I feel that way most days. It takes me a few hrs for my meds to get in me for me to get moving around here anyway. I did get the 'fallen' shelf back up late yesterday - and half the shelf above it this morning. Instead of the long shelf (wall to wall) I used 2 smaller pieces I had here (the ends from when they cut my shelves to size) for the higher shelf - nothing else to use those for anyway. There'll be a few inches open between them but I won't have to fight another 5' long board either. I did one side, will probably put up the other side (half) shortly. After pup gets her walk. I'll save that long shelf board for the shelf I want put above the normal shelf (over the clothes rod) in that closet. Someone else will have to do that - it's way too high up for me to try. It's going to be a storage/linen closet. I did spend a good amount of time looking for the level. I looked in the back room twice for it. the 2nd trip there I 'saw' it. right out in open space waiting for me! eatrealfood - that'd sure be a good idea - a girl's shop class. I would have loved it. Learning to patch drywall, put up a shelf, fix a squeaky floor board, wire a lamp, etc would have been good things to learn back then.

Sorry, I forgot to finish responding before I hit submit. You asked how I was feeling.....

I'm doing pretty good. Just really ready to not be pregnant anymore. My body is tired and my energy level is pretty low, but actually compared to how I have felt in the past, I feel fairly good, considering.

I think the next few weeks are going to go fast...I hope! :-)

You make a beautiful family. And in just a short time, baby will only add to the beauty. Thanks for sharing with us. Even though it's been a gazillion years since I was pregnant, I still remember vividly those last weeks/days before the birth. It felt as if it would never end. I want to wish you and your family (your extended family included) a very Happy New Year.

Thanks for posting the pictures, I always enjoy seeing pics of the little ones. You are a beautiful family!!!

While it's been 25+ years, I do still remember those last few weeks of pregnancy, very tired and quite ready to see my babies.

take care
