21.) Decorate for Christmas
22.) Figure out which insurance plan to get on and enroll through open enrollment
40.) Put together arms reach co sleeper

My dad finished the nursery a few days before he and my mom went down to Long Beach for Thanksgiving. He painted the cream walls blue, installed the wainscotting and molding. We really like how it turned out - very nautical!

So Rob went online to see if he could find the instructions when someone online had said the instructions were in the metal spring platform box instead. And they were!



Rob was finally able to get down to business.
