Islands in the Stream (or, more accurately, the kitchen)

Been a while since I've posted, we've been working on some kitchen remodeling. Finally got rid of the tiny four-person table in the breakfast nook that we've desparately outgrown, and Ben threw together this little number.

It's on wheels so we can use it as an island, or a peninsula, maybe an archipelago if we felt like it. Okay, probably not. But pretty nifty nonetheless.

Countertops and sink to be completed tomorrow, hopefully.

Not much other news at the moment. Mom is out traveling in Japan this week, so Ben is staying at home with the kids. I think he had a good day with them today, but that's no surprise, really -- they're good kids. We checked out a little campground in Buchanan, Michigan this past weekend where both the boys managed to get busted up somewhat; Noah with a split lip and Travis with ridiculously skinned knee/elbow. But, they also got to play on the beach and eat some ice cream, so all was well.
