A New Door

We have a new front door! The three of us were able to have a family shopping trip on Friday, and one of the things we picked up was a new door for our main entrance. The one we had before was the one that came with the house when Caleb bought it--you know those hollow-core interior-type doors? Yeah. And it was getting to the point where you had to slam it five times before it would latch (the frame was not going to put up with any more latch adjustments). We decided it was definitely time to have a good, secure door. Saturday was the perfect day for it. It was sunny and a warm, breezy 70 degrees. Lovely for a family project!

~"So do we line the door up with the wall or make it level?" (we chose level)~*~attaching the frame to the wall~

Ta-da! Our beautiful new door. ~'::

I really like how the sunshine sparkles through the window. :)
