Cook Kitchen Makeover!

So Jim and I were thinking one evening, wouldn't it be nice to have tile in our kitchen? Our house dates back to the late 60's and renovations were done in the late 90's. Some of the improvements were shotty and not well planned. We, (well mostly Jim), decided to raise the cabinets, put in ceramic tile, create a new entryway, put in a microwave over the range, and build a half wall. Jim started 3 weeks ago and is more than halfway done. Since he is only able to work at night, it has been an exhausting process. As you can see, it is messy to say the least. I am so proud of him for all the work he has put into it and it will be beautiful. For now, we are telling Carter that the kitchen is broken and he can't wait to have Daddy "fix it". Our love to all!

A few pictures of the Derham/Cook Halloween. Why does Pop always get to the Reese's first?

Halloween 2008....The year of Spiderman and Tigger!

As you can see from the video, Carter has this trick-or-treating thing down pat. He remembered those magic words in which to receive his treats and most importantly remembered to say "thank you". It makes a Mommy proud to watch such good manners. He waited his turn and was very grateful. Meanwhile, Brady hung out with the festive neighbors with Daddy and Pop. Such a party animal! All in all, it was a wonderful evening with temps in the 70's. We hope you enjoy the pictures. Our love to all!
