When we first talked about building a house, one of Doug’s “must-have’s” was granite countertops.  I was completely on board, until we started to get estimates!  But Doug stuck his ground, and our builder was able to pull some strings on the cost.  The countertops were just installed today and we are so happy with them!!  The color is exactly what we wanted and there really is nothing like granite!  (Doug, you were right… this time!)

Over the weekend, we drove up to Chicago to visit Doug’s parents and his sister Chris.  Molly had a fun time playing the slot machine with Grandpa and splashing in Grandma’s fountain! 

We also got a chance to visit Aunt Betty, Uncle Dan, cousin Lisa & the twins.  Molly just loved running around with Hunter and Faith in their new house! 

That’s all for now!
