Three years and counting!!!
Ann mocked me for taking all these pictures, but darn it, this is a big deal!!! After three years and then some, the Ebert family is less than two months away from finishing their house!!
Here's a shot of their new upstairs balcony hanging out over their kitchen. This is the part I'm most thrilled about -- I was always afraid of Sophie taking a nose dive off the edge. (And look -- she can't even fit her head through the bars! Good job, Dan!)
And here's the opposite shot of the kitchen from the balcony -- and no, that's not just dust on the lens... there was dust everywhere! (Sunday we're going to send around a sign-up for the November clean up party. It should only take us about, oh, three more months!)
Okay, I'm a total nerd, but this is one of the coolest things ever! This is there super-exciting pantry door -- here it is closed....
And when you open it, hey presto! The light AUTOMATICALLY COMES ON! iSN'T THAT THE COOLEST THING EVER??! Tell me that's the coolest thing you've ever seen in a house! Don't you wish your pantry lit up when you opened the door? (Okay, enough -- hose me down already!)
Here's their super efficient dishwasher. Honestly, compared the rest of the house, it looks so small. They need three of these...
When you own an art store, I guess it's only fitting that you should have some sort of artwork befitting to your occupation to grace your walls. But I never thought it would be RIGHT ON THE WALL!
This is how cool Ann is -- not only did she get her GRANITE COUNTERTOPS for considerably less than originally bid, she got her bathroom counters AND this lovely collecter's set of granite cleaner, accompanied by a personally engraved thank you card from the contractors. You gotta' love her kind of connections!
CAN YOU SAY....
SLUMBER PARTY??!!
This is their upstairs great room. This picture doesn't really do it justice, with all the tools and scaffolding in the way. It's really great awesome FABULOUS!
And last, but certainly not least, this is where all the bad little Eberts go...
Anne (Q, not Ebert) demonstrating the meaning of "down the laundry chute".
(I got dibs on this spot for our first inaugral round of Sardines...)
CHECK IT OUT!!

Think BLUE!
When I look at this picture, here's what I think:FAMILY.
We have a great group of gals, and even if some of us are literally related, we're ALL sisters and buddies and pals and kindred spirits. We go to different schools, and our ward boundaries are really all over the place, but we are united in purpose and function: to learn the gospel and strengthen our testimonies...and have some fun while we're at it.
(The other thing I think is that Marci looks good in a hat!)
So, this month as we focus on Divine Nature, think about this:
What do your "sisters" mean to you?
How does this ward family help you gain a testimony of the gospel?
More importantly, how can you help them?
We all want to hear what you have to say...think of this as an extended Ward Journal entry and leave a comment!
