Our Labor day was full of labor for two reasons:
# 1) Labor day was an exciting day! Ammon and I are an aunt and uncle again! My sister in law Renee had a baby boy on Monday morning at 10am. He is a sweet little bundle with lots of dark hair! His name will be Camden Tyler Cranney (not sure if Camden is with an E or an O yet...) He was 7 lbs 4 oz and 17 days early! I am sad however, than I wasn't able to go see him in the hospital, because I've been there within hours after their other two babies were born. SAD! Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait my turn.
# 2) Ammon and I got a table from his aunt and uncle that they were getting rid of. It was kind of beat up and it was forest green (NOT our favorite color) so we decided we would fix it up and refinish it! What a task! First of all, neither of us had really done anything like this before so thank heavens we have a handy-man brother in law Matt that helped us out and told us what to do. We sanded everything down to get the scratches out, stripped the stain off the table top and chairs, and repainted and stained/lacquered everything. We worked hard all day and ran out of time and paint. So yesterday I came home from work and finished the painting, and Ammon finished the second coat today. YAY! We now have a kitchen table. We are excited, and quite proud of our little labor day project!
I'll post pictures when we get everything dried and set up so check back soon!

Congrats on becoming a new Aunt that is very exciting. And also congrats on the new table.. It is always nice once you have big projects like that done.
