The Curtis Family Takes Coeur d'Alene!

A Curtis Coeur d'Alene

I am always so grateful for the time and effort Dianne and David put into making our family vacations so enjoyable. With all the Curtis Family spread out as far as Japan, our summer vacation is sometimes the only time we get to spend time all together. So in early August we headed up to Coeur d'Alene and had the best time! Zella was in heaven with all of her Cousins. She really misses them now they have all gone home.

Here are some pictures of our fun trip, Enjoy!

Mommy & Me Selfies

“Being a mother is not about what you gave up to have a child, but what you’ve gained from having one.” 

—Sunny Gupta

     
      I have been thinking a lot lately about life as a Mother. It's hard to imagine life without Zella now. She became a permanent part of our life the moment we found out about her. Not to say Motherhood hasn't had its challenges. It has been hard at times, but the good times have always out weighed those hard times. I feel so blessed to be able to be her Mother, even though at times I feel like a complete failure at it. There isn't a day that goes by that she doesn't make me smile or laugh... As I have been reminiscing, I found all the "selfies" we have taken together. Thought I would share them here.
