We are very happy to welcome 2008. We are preparing for a year of excitement and many changes. It is so hard to imagine everything we are going to experience throughout 2008.
The weekend was consumed with painting the baby's room. Grandma and Grandpa Wilson came down to help. They knocked out painting the walls since I couldn't be around the fumes and since James is not a "painter." The walls are pink on top and green on bottom. My mom, dad and I then worked on the border. The border is hand painted. We chose 4 patterns from the quilt and painted them in the border. We also painted the curtain rod and the decorative letters to hang on the wall. (We are going to put together a video once everything is finished in the room).
We did hit one problem. We misplaced the hardware kit for the crib (or we never received it). We have all of the other hardware pieces for the dressers, but nothing for the crib :( We tried to call the 800 number, but they were not open (it is a M-F operation). I will have to call this week...as a fall back, the instruction sheet does have all of the sizes for the screws and bolts to put the crib together.
After my parents left, we started James' Film Festival. We watched movies Monday afternoon until we fell asleep before midnight. Tuesday was full of movie watching as well. So far we have seen: Charlie Wilson's War, (part of) A Mighty Heart, I am Legend, Elizabeth, Stardust, and Bucket List.
Today after we got home from work, we continued Film Festival by watching the Great Debaters and Sicko.
Another accomplishment for today - Christmas cards are finally out in the mailbox!
