Can you say busy?? We’ve had our plates full lately! I guess it’s been obvious, with the serious lack of blogging. We’ve had many appointments lately, and renovations to the house and/or repairs (painting is being done from the roof leaks a while back) mean there is always someone here doing something.Â
Last weekend, Randy’s dad and Kathy visited us for the weekend. We had dinner out, dinner in, girls day-out shopping, boys day-in Wii playing, swimming, and presents! They covered all the kid’s birthdays in one swoop (Abbey’s is in February, and when our kids were in NC while we were in China, they were both terribly sick and couldn’t see her). There were also presents for R’s dad for Father’s day and for Kathy’s birthday.Â
Nana and Lainey snuggle up for some light reading
I think I’m gonna really like this Paw Paw guy…
5 of their 17 grandchildren…Lainey is lucky #17 :)
Here are a few Before/After pics of our new counters and backsplash. We’re so happy with how they look!
I’ll end with a few random pics from the week…
Payton has a little friend…see him?
Lainey admires Nana’s jewelry on her. She’s a girly-girl for sure.Â
Sisterly love!Â
Who needs a mannequin when you have a baby sister?

Love the pictures. Your kitchen looks awesome.

Love the animal in Payton’s hair. (I would be freaking out).
Having just renovated our master bath I know the complete “mess” this can make throughout the house. The last thing on your mind is “blogging.” Your new kitchen looks great.
But thanks for the new pictures. I had been missing them.

So it is difficult to blog often with a toddler?… hmmm. Just giving you back some grief, not that you were months late like I was in blogging. Looks like all is well in the Clark household. Lainey is growing some hair– before you know it she’ll have those long Clark bangs. Kitchen looks great! Come renovate mine now. ;o)
Take it easy Clarks, and stay cool.

Wow – the new look, both blog and home, is fantastic! Great job you all. The ceiling problem was a major bummer. You handled it better than we would have :) Much better…
peace

Yay…some new pictures!! Lainey looks great with Nana and Paw Paw…looks like they enjoyed her company!! The “famous” stairs photos…they ALL look great, but the kids, even Lainey are growing way too fast!! Glad Ron & Kathy had a good time visiting.
Your counters look GREAT!! What a difference, and I’m sure you’re loving ’em ’cause you’ve been wanting to do that for some time!!
Has it rained anymore now that the ROOF is done?? We don’t need a new roof, but I wish there was a way that we could get some good long SOAKING rain our way! They say our drought is worse now than it was last year :( Love, Mom

Your kitchen is lovely! As are all of the pictures. I LOVE the picture of Payton with a gecko on his head. Too funny!

How fun to have visitors! Lainey looks so comfortable with all her family members… she really fits! I love the backsplash in your kitchen and new counters! The picture of big sister/little sister hug is PRECIOUS!!!
