Rhett visits Utah

rich's grandpa passed away this month, so went to utah for his funeral. about a month before rhett was born, his great-grandpa and great-grandma came to chicago, so we got to spend a few days with them. it was a wonderful visit that we will never forget.  rhett's great-grandpa was a great man, and i was sad that rhett did not get to meet him, but i know grandpa croft is in heaven watching over rhett and all his loved ones. 

while we were in utah, rhett got to get blessed while we were in utah. it was a wonderful day, and we were thankful to have so many family and friends come for his blessing day. rhett also got to meet many important people, including his cousin, jake.  i cannot wait to see these two grow up together.

Hunter visits Rhett

laura, alex and hunter came to visit our little family! they are such a fun and adventurous family. rhett seemed very interested in his cousin hunter and likewise for hunter. have a feeling these two will have many adventures in the future.... uh oh! ;)

what a cute fam!

while we were at the musem of science and industry, we ran into mike and breia!! our childhood museum buddies! what are the odds?!?

Selling our condo = Sad

since we will be moving when rich graduates, we decided to sell our condo. our realtor said it was pretty much already staged to sell, so that was relieving! it will go on the market when we fly to utah during rich's spring break. i hope it sells quick, but not really because that is sad to think about.

we painted those walls.

rich installed that hardwood floor. "whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man"! ;)

we painted these walls lavender...after we painted it many other weird colors that looked awful.

painted that wall too. "mars red" was the paint color. kinda weird name, but i like the color. benjamin moore paints rock.

i sanded, primed and painted those cupboards white. NEVER again. rich also installed that track lighting..."whatta man..."
