Updates...Kateli and Kitchen

The cutest thing (okay, so one of the cutest things that our daughter does right now)--Kateli knows which things (for the most part) are "no no's" for her to touch. She especially knows that daddy's road bike is off limits as well as the power strip that is in our bedroom next to the bachelor's chest. A lot of times when she walks near these things, she will look at me, turn to the item, waves her little index finger and says "no no"....it's so cute. Yes, she finally started saying "no", but thus far it's a nice toned "no", rather than an adamant "NO", which we were afraid we were going to get. We may get that later on, but for now I'm enjoying the gentleness in her voice when she says "no" to something. Abuela is coming to visit this weekend, which ought to be lots of fun for all of us. My mom has not seen Kateli in 3 months, so she'll be amazed at how much her grand-daughter has changed and grown since the last time we were in Houston. She'll be here through the weekend and late into Monday afternoon. I'm hoping that I'll get sometime to finish up in her room--which is about 90% completed (well, the mural is anyway). I still have to paint the bed, figure out bedding, curtains and furniture arrangement, but I figure once I get the mural completed, it will all come together quickly! It's got to, we only have 4 weeks or so til this baby is due!!!

As far as the kitchen--we have cabinets!! They were delivered today, and the guys that were here working hoped to get some hung after sanding the walls. Unfortunately, they didn't get around to hanging any of them yet, but tomorrow should be a different story. It's going to start looking like a kitchen, I think and I'm excited about it. The only thing is that somehow the project has gotten behind and off schedule. We found out yesterday that completion is not estimated until a week before our due date! We were supposed to be done 3 weeks before the due date!!!! YIKES!!! Hopefully baby doesn't decide to come too early! Anyway, this weekend will probably be one that Dan spends painting in the kitchen! We committed to doing the wall painting so we've got to get that done. Once all the cabinets are installed, we'll have measurements done for the granite countertops, and then will have to wait about 2 weeks for that to be ready, delivered and installed....

Sorry, no pictures of the kitchen tonight as there is nothing really new....but hopefully tomorrow will be different and I can post some of the cabinets that get hung!
