I haven't had much time to blog lately, and I want to show you some kitchens we're working on. But today, I am taking a day off from that stuff and introduce our family instead! You probably don't recognize the pipsqueaks in the picture above, but those are my older two! Since a lot of you are new blog followers, I thought I'd tell you a little about us.
