Well, we have painted almost every room in the place. Bought 25 gallons of paint. I refinished the hardwood floors, and if I do say so myself - they look great. Just got a few minor scuffs during the move-in. Pretty much replaced all the light fixtures, needed serious updating. Put some new smoke detectors in - got to protect the family. I have replaced all the light switches and outlets to a lighter color, everything was so dark. The remodeling of the kitchen is now finished. It ONLY took 2 1/2 months,  wow what a project. It looks fantastic.
On a separate note we got a dog in May. He is a wire-haired (broken haired) Jack Russell Terrier and just celebrated his one year in November. We adopted him from the SPCA with the name of Rascal, but we ended up changing it to Baxter. He is a ball of energy and so much fun to have around. We have had to baby-proof the house, he likes to investigate everything. This is Meghan's first dog ever, so she is really excited. He just experienced his first snow the beginning of December and absolutley loves the stuff.
