Trying again...

So I'm going to try and get back into blogging. I do enjoy it. I enjoy the story I can depict from pictures & reflect. No promises, but I'm going to try. So to start that, I wanted to share at the turn of the New Year, our family celebrated a big milestone - My Niece Maggie's First Birthday. Only 1 short year prior, we were on our knees asking God's healing miracle to touch her fragile life. And He answered in a big way. She is now a fun, spunky, playful, smiling, one year old. And she just took her first steps this last week. So I was just reminded of her beautiful birthday celebration. This niece holds a special place in my heart because I was there from the very beginning!

My sister did such a great job with the decorations, and she even let me help a little.

"Let me have some of that!"

Hugs and Loves for all

Big brother was a lot of help too.

Cutie!

Before and After

Drum Roll Please....I've been waiting almost 2 years to post this: When we moved in the downstairs bathroom needed a lot of help. So we embarked on a remodel. Here are the photos!

Before features: Metallic Butterfly and Floral Wallpaper. Dark, small shower, and oddly shaped counter - you can't really tell from the photo but the counter was skinnier on one side so the door would shut.

After: Functional, bright, colorful, with a door that now leads into a walk in closet!

Shower with a jetted tub!

I love the cheerful color tiles!

A few fun features: Cute & functional shelf

Corner mirror

....and one of my favorite parts: the heated floor controller!

We are so blessed, to be so spoiled. Thank you Lord for helping us complete this project!
