Family

So this year E and I did our traveling for the holidays after the fact. It was different not being with our family during the holiday season. However, so far with this trip we have been able to spend more quality time with our family. For the past two days we have been staying with my brother Steve and his wife Jessica and their two dogs Cali and Rilo. We have had some wonderful meals, seen the sights of Gilbert, and shared a lot of laughs (many at my expense) :-). Below are some pics of the house Steve and Jessica have been doing some fabulous work restoring for us. In addition there are pics of their babies (the four legged kind).

Sorry Steve this was too much for me to pass up. Steve repainted all the doors in the house before we came. He did not have time to hang them all however. He did hang this one to provide them some privacy for their bedroom. However, after hanging the door he discovered it did not actually fit. I call this a room with a view! :-)

The view from the front door through the kitchen into the living room. Steve did all the floors! What a FANTASTIC job!

The office. Looks too pretty to work in. You will never see a picture of my office on here. Too many papers and too much clutter.

Cali. I couldn't resist putting this pic on here. She was putting on a sad face waiting for a treat. Do they know how to manipulate us or what?
