I'm pooped.

Phew, we've been working like crazy around the house lately. Miller's room is finally finished. I've just got to do some touch-ups to the border to make sure all the edges are glued down, but here's some pictures of the room along the way. Here's the primer on the bottom half of the room, right after John had finished that up.



Here's John putting the second coat of white on the top half of the room. Remember, we had come back from an out of town weekend, and Mom and Dad had already painted the first coat for us.


This weekend, Austin helped John. They touched up the white, and painted on the red. When they were hammering the lid back on the white, they managed to splatter it on the red. Sigh. Austin is obviously proud of his handy work. (You can see the white splatters right behind him.)

Here's Mom and I putting on the last of the border tonight. Dad helped us out with his handy dandy chalk line tool, but it was pretty rough on us putting on all of the border. An hour after we finished, and my knees are still red.
Here's the finished product, paint and border. I think it looks so cute. The bedding and curtains are going to be a darker shade of maroon, but I think it will all work out in the end. I love the room design though.
This weekend was wonderful. It started out Friday evening with a crawfish boil at Mom and Dad's. It was Mimi's birthday, and Mrs. Peggy and Mr. Terry were in town. It was also our first boil of the season, and it was so good. Here's a picture of John and I. For reference, the baby bump is 24 weeks 5 days.
For Mimi's birthday, Mom wanted to take her for a day at the spa. She was nice enough to take Mrs. Peggy and I along too. Mimi, Mrs. Peggy, and I got facials and pedicures with paraffin wax. It was wonderful. Here's Mrs. Peggy and I during the pedicures. I decided to be nice, and not post the picture of Mom after her hour-long massage.
Overall, it was such a relaxing but productive weekend, and I'm so happy to have Miller's room done. Now, we've just got to get the furniture. They had to order it, but most of it is in. We should be able to pick it up in a few weeks. We've just got to find the time. It seems like our weekends are getting more and more scarce. Oh well, it's so much fun!
