A yummy grilled cheese sandwich!

This video is really long--sorry about that.  But we thought it was really cute (probably b/c we're her parents).  She reached for the last grilled cheese sandwich on the table and proceeded to try to eat it. And offered it to the camera.  She seemed to really enjoy it.

A few pictures-8 months

 

Playing with her keyboard--she's a good typer.

 

Petting Farmer.  She likes dogs and animals (horses are really the only other ones she's been around a bit).

AC Clapping on her own

We realized the other night that if you ask AnnCarter to clap, she knows what you're asking her to do and will start clapping without being shown.  I was amazed!  She is definitely picking up on language.  She's also started to wave a bit this week--I will try to catch that on video soon.  She doesn't do it all the time, but she's connecting more and more when you're supposed to do it and will often start waving if someone new enters the room.  She is growing fast!

Installed!!

I installed the desk last night! I'm still pretty dang blown away that everything worked and came out right. The Lord provides! Praise the Lord!

 

And the table tops. These pictures really don't do that western maple justice. I hope to be able to get better pictures when I install it wednesday night.

Here are the cabinets. They are upstairs in the house along with the table tops so that I can keep them in a stable climate.

Post final coat-Hutch

So, none of the following pictures are going to be any good because, this just in, i can't control my flash. Everytime I tried to get a picture of any of this stuff, I either had too much flash or not enough and thus got a shaky picture. Lame. Especially when I took several photography classes at McCallie and Covenant....I blame the lacquer fumes.

These are pictures of the hutch after the final coat. I haven't put the shelves in any of the bays and the far right side still has pegs in the adjustable shelving holes from when I was lacquering.
