Some background info: we live in a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. However, we are both from southern California and I think our tastes and style reflects that a bit. We have been married 7 years and have 4 small children, all boys and 2 of those are identical twins. (That could be a whole other blog....) I work as an optometrist and my wife stays home with the kids. We love our home, but admit it is a huge work in progress, even though it is only 6 years old. (Whoever built this home in 2005 must have had no money for upgrades, or really nasty taste. Or both.
I thought I'd post a to do list to start with and we'll start making our way through this bad boy. Some projects are partially or all the way completed, but I'll cross them off as I get a blog entry done about them.
