OK so the super secret project is now done ish. We are still cleaning up and getting things organized. When space is at a premium it becomes a issue of just playing find a place to put this.
We recently inherited a hutch of sorts from Grandpa Gene.(may he smile down upon us for ever and ever)
and it took the place (more like wedged into my side while im using the computer) of a book case which then took the place of another book case which then got slightly dismantled and became a shelf for my hobby desk.
yesh. So the secret project was a complete Kitchen remodel which was over saw by the Duane. yeah i said the. Hes a woodworker by trade and i say wood worker because if there was ever someone that could make something out of a block of wood its Duane. The project rolled out of a conversation Kristin and i had with Duane when we wanted new cabinet doors. he started telling us what we could do with our kitchen and how we can have more space, a pantry and something that will last the life of the house for a price we can afford ...well on thing led to another and low and behold we got a kitchen the likes this house has never seen. He also was very nice and helped in every way possible taking care of little details Kristin and i wouldnt have been able to do as parents. We also had Greg and Joy put a new floor in while everyone was looking the other way. Things as they say are good. The next project is the attic and garage with a sprinkle of tech in there somewhere.
Daryl is going to go to a painting competition later this month and see if he can snag an award for some of the random minis hes painted in the middle of the random commission hes been working on(hes got five that are being juggled right now.) He is also going to a comic convention in San jose later this month. This is something new to Daryl and hes not sure he can handle that much nerd, although the one in San Diego has turned into a meca for a list movie stars and movie debuts. (a group of fans got to be the crowd noise in a major disney movie last year). San Jose isnt San Deigo though haha.
Claire has been doing very well at preschool and also at potty training to the point were last weekend she went the whole weekend without a single pull-up/wet undies. Yah Claire. Abigail is doing very well sitting by herself babbling a little and clapping her hands.
Last weekend the whole family enjoyed a free comic book day at the local comic shop. FCBD for short has also become a bit of hit which is odd since most everything is going digital, but comic book shops around the planet give away free comics and have local artists just smooze. Also theres firetrucks and stormtroopers. (not sure how they fit)
thats all for now or until i remember some more.
