HOW could I forget??

Dishwasher update:

It's a large monstrosity.

But it's fabulous.

We've been running it after the girls go to bed. So nice to just load the dishes in after dinner - out of sight, out of mind, and let the beauty of Kenmore do it's work for us. And having a bit more "counter top" is always a good thing. Of course, it's a good thing as long as it doesn't become a "catch-all" for the mail and various other assorted crap. Which is probably exactly what's going to happen. :)
