Kitchen Remodel Part II

We have been working so hard around here lately, we ended up waiting 4 weeks for our counter top to be made and delivered.  On Monday 3 men arrived with my beautiful Corian counter top and I have never been so happy to have a functioning kitchen in all my life. While waiting, we took a vacation to the Emerald Coast, our favorite getaway! 
Armed with a new camera and lenses I was ready to take tons of photos.  Truth is, I just relaxed and rested up, it has been such a long cold, snowy, winter around here, it felt just wonderful to soak up the sunshine and take long walks on the beach. I am sure you want to see photos of the kitchen progress so here you go, we still have alot to do but I can at least use my appliances, counters and sink. 

 We have some trim  and filler pieces to set in place now that the sink is in. 
 I can finally make a meal in my LeCruset pot that my sister gave me for Christmas! I love the crock holding my utensils.  My Grandma  once brought me fresh morrel mushrooms in this years ago.  Yummy!
 Subway tile and dark wood floors are on the agenda, along with finishing the trim on the cupboards.  I purchased the new faucet with my gift card that I received from Lowe's!
 I also was able to purchase the cool light above the sink on clearance for $15! Don't pay attention to the dirty windows!
 Loving my island!  I put oil on the butcher block yesterday and it helped to darken the wood a bit.
 The gaps are where the filler pieces are going. 
 The dining room is ready for some great meals to come out of the kitchen!!!
 Oh, and my Dayton has made the baseball team, I never dreamed my son would be sporting my colors!! He actually hit for the first time in a year last night, my whole family was there, I love living back at home. Today the physical therapist cleared him from his shoulder break.  Thank Goodness!!!
 And just cause I love them so much I had to show you my sweetie pies!  Oh how we love the beach!!!

I am starting to feel short around them!!!  At least I have Myah still little for a few more years!! Dayton will be 16 in a few weeks, I just cannot believe how fast the years are flying by!!
Sorry for the delay in posts, I have been so busy with life and remodeling, I wanted to post when I finally had something to show!  Oh and while we were on vacation my mom called me to tell me that they found Mr.Cole's remains... 2 doors down from her on the lake.  His body had traveled 3miles down the lake, 2 months had gone by that he was in the icy waters.... this weekend we are attending his memorial.  Thank you so much for your prayers for this special family.  May he rest in peace.
