Hey ho!
I was just reading my blog. I'm stunned to see the last entry was so long ago. And yet...not. Because, you know, life. Plus, I have a grand total of 3 followers. I'm pretty sure two are my mom. Thanks Mom! And she's seen the before and afters in real life.

So quick personal update: Dave had the surgery. Open heart - the full meal deal. He has a genetic defect that messes with the lining of the heart. Now my kids are monitored yearly and, well, there's a whole blog in that story too. But can I just say, the whole health care thing was put into some serious perspective? I saw the price list for ICU stays and whatnot posted on the wall by the sign-in area of the hospital and I felt a need to kiss my little plastic health card. I mean WOW I can't even imagine dealing with those costs on top of a reno. Cost to us? The plane ride to and from the Toronto specialist to have the surgery done. What a deal!

| Our kitchen...full of bedroom furniture. |
As you recall, I had no kitchen in my last post. And that is pretty much how the place stayed until I came back.
I left the three boys at home, my brother flew in to teach them the fine art of take out dining and neighbourhood-wide water fights. Post-surgery, I left Dave with his mom in Toronto to be entirely doted on. I figured the open heart surgery, facing mortality thing, gave him a pass on choosing finishings.
