Orzo's Room

John and I have been hard at work getting the baby's room ready. You might remember from earlier posts that it was a very bare room that initially was an office. We have cleared out all the office furniture, taken away the computer (though my father thought Orzo should start off with her very own computer), installed a new light fixture and a new closet system, painted the room, and finally just added furniture.

We knew we would have to put together the crib, but had assumed all the other furniture would come in one piece. The deliveryman informed John that the rocker/glider would have to be put together and that it was incrediably difficult to do. Everyone either paid him to put together the chair or called him back within a few hours to get his help. With all the things we had to do around the house I would have paid to have it done, but the delivery man put so much emphasis into how difficult the chair was to put together that John saw it as a challenege and proudly told him we would do it ourselves. Fortunately, John was right and easily put the chair together, the crib was another story and took all afternoon.

PS If you look closely at Franklin's tail you will notice that he got covered in white paint after a painting mishap!
