Light at the end of the Tunnel

Well the remodel continues but we are getting close to the end! Josie and I had a good time playing in our new tub before Joe and my dad installed it. The bathroom has been the biggest headache of this whole project, so getting a tub in, is a BIG deal!
Don't you love the gray and pink tile? Unfortunately it covers almost the entire bathroom so we decided to let it stay. We took the original tub out because the side had been cut down to a step so the older woman who used to live here could get in and out safely. Josie loved it, but I was not going to try bathing her in it so it had to go. Turns out there was a cast iron tub with an acrylic liner surrounding (basically two tubs one inside the other). The liner took a few days to pry out, and to remove the cast iron I spent a week chipping at the tile that lined so we could get it loose and then out came the sawzall! We took it out in pieces. I left putting the new tub in up to the men and they did a great job!

They do Love us! (or at least Josie)

My mom misses Josie so much she came down two days in a row and for no reason other than to see us! We loved it. The first time she brought my sis Robin, and this time she brought my sister Kate and my neice Sarah.We all just wanted to be outside enjoying one of the last days of sunshine for the year. So we ate more grapes, fished, and I even made them go on a walk which led directly to Baskin Robbins, hehe.Me and the princess
Baby Sarah was born on Joe's birthday August 11th, so she's about 2 1/2 months. She is precious.Josie is a true Curtis girl! She loves her ice cream! (and everyone elses)

Visitors, HOORAY!

My mom and sister came to say hi the other day. Josie was SO HAPPY!
and even though it's November, it has been gorgeous outside,
so we decided to color the driveways.
