Progress, progress

The remodel is coming along well... the new sheetrock is up and being mudded for the third time as I type, the new tub and shower is in, the subfloor is down. Now it's just the finish work to do... the pieces that put the room back together. We ran into a little problem with the floor as there was 3/4 of an inch grade difference between the front and back ends of the tub. They shimmed the low side and ended up having to put a second layer of 3/4 inch plywood down. The only other issue so far has been that I discovered that we had told the contractor the wrong tile to buy... thankfully we caught this before it was laid down so I went to Home Depot this morning and bought the correct tile. Problem solved! The tile is the next project and I am so excited to see it on the floor.

In other news, Michaela has strep throat again so she is home today and stayed home yesterday. She had just finished her last round of antibiotics for strep on Monday and then got it again on Wednesday. We think that she may have reinfected herself from her toothbrush. So when we picked up her new meds we grabbed a new toothbrush as well. She is in good spirits today and is eating like a horse so she is clearly on the mend.

Jenna is great...she loves having Michaela around all day. Her latest word is "ouch" which she pronounces "ouse" and squints her eyes for dramatic effect. She started using it when I was trimming her nails the other day and she wanted me to stop saying, "Ouse, ouse..." and pulling her hand away.

The Libutti girls had fun yesterday at Gammie's coloring Easter eggs, which is a Davies family tradition. It definitely cheered Michaela up to make eggs for everyone. My parents are right now on the road to MI to see Brian and Bethie and Michaela sent a bunch of lovenotes, artwork and two colored eggs for them to enjoy.

Enjoy the spring weather!
