They used to be a forest green type color. We bought this paint about a year ago. I personally wish the color was a bit darker maybe more gray but it still looks nice and you can't beat a coat of fresh paint.
Painting the door was a HUGE hassle. Jon roughed it up with a wire brush, then started to paint it while it was still on the hinges. The first coat when on great. Then Jon painted the shutters and came back to the door. The paint was dry, so he started on the second coat. But it seemed like the second coat of wet paint "reactivated" the first coat, which started to sag under the second coat, as we tried to fix it and leave no brush strokes it was not successful. So we hurried and took the door off the hinges and scraped off all the wet paint and sanded it down so we could reapply the paint and get it on the hinges again before the end of the day, at this point it was already 4p. I called my dad for suggestions. He said there are roller sponges for smooth surfaces. So Jon went to get one of those, and it worked soooooo much better! He just did one coat and there was a fine grain on it. But it is much much much better. We were able to get the door up before the end of the day . . .but what an ordeal!
We also replaced a few more light fixtures.

Max eating pudding. I can't remember if I have given an update on him lately, but here is a quick one. He has reflux but the medicine is working great and he is gaining weight. He is also making more sounds and can say some words/phrases, which for the most part only we can understand: ball, more, water, flower, bubbles, cheese, eat, where go, love you, amen, outside, cracker, cookies, car, book,...
