Bit by bit

We are gradually unpacking and it's taking some time. Meanwhile, Broc and his Dad have begun the makeover process on our family room. Realistically, it is going to take us a few years to reach our goals in this house. From knocking out walls to replacing colorful carpet with wood, we have a lot of work ahead. The biggest job by far is the kitchen, which we hope to make headway on this spring. This is a great house, spacious, big windows, full basement, on 2 acres, but aesthetically it's dated. Oh boy is it dated. I do love a good makeover but part of me wants to fast forward to the finished product. Our kids seem to be very happy here and I'm already daydreaming about outdoor fun to be had come warmer weather. We will take picnics to the back of our property, plant gardens, play in the dirt and have bonfires. Whose with me?
