Our kitchen is (almost) done!

For those of you who've been following the progress of our kitchen, the latest update is that we're almost done! At this point, it's 95% complete, with just a few small details such as some new trim and baseboards that have yet to go in. After a summer of eating out, we're thrilled to have our kitchen back. (Colin cooked up a batch of white chicken chili in the crockpot today...mmm.) Thanks again to Bob and Ron who helped us by doing beautiful work on the floor, walls and just about everything else.

Here's a slideshow with some before and after shots -- it should be pretty easy to tell which is which!



In other news, we've been playing a lot of soccer this fall. It was a high scoring weekend for the StalinBenesters -- five goals in two games. On one of her goals today, Stacy broke her shoe -- fortunately one of the other team's players was willing to loan some tape so she could play the second half.
