Yes, folks we have doors

Okay, to bring you all up to speed, Iain and I have been busy trying to get our house in order for the arrival of the baby. Thankfully we had some much needed help from Jen and Jason Kosior. For those of you who don't know, Jen K., was my roommate for four years of college and Jason is her husband. These generous and courageous people traveled to Shippensburg this past weekend and spent two days helping us with two major projects- hanging multiple doors throughout the house and painting the baby's room. When Iain and I bought our house, we never noticed that we were missing several bedroom and closet doors. We also had one door fall off the hinges and I've been looking at the inside of our hall closet for over a year. Although we are relatively neat people, I'm sorry to say that the inside of our closet has been staring back at me for way too long. Fortunately, this has been taken care of. It is amazing what a different the new doors make. We've also painted the baby's room a warm yellow to go with the green carpet. The colors look really good together and overall make the room very colorful. Once we get our furniture together as well as hang curtains and pictures, Baby Burnett should be all set. Also, prior to Jen and Jason's arrival, Iain and I tackled our atrocity of a computer room. This room was a pre-teen girl's bedroom from two owners prior to us, and it was absolutely hideous- purple, black and yellow. I've posted one picture-- ew! I hated it. Iain and I managed to remove the border, paint the walls and move the furniture around. Needless to say, it looks a million times better, and we look forward to having many guests stay in the room. So far, so good. Things are falling together and I am grateful since I began the third trimester today! How exciting! Enjoy the pictures.
