Another weekend is almost here!

Things are moving right along here! We are continuing to work on paper work and the whole process of getting ready to close on selling our house and also on purchasing the new one. It is kind of looking like we might be able to close the 20th now. It isn't set in stone but everything is moving forward smoothly so far. We were already able to get a key for our new house and will start to move stuff hopefully next weekend. I have already started packing stuff that we aren't using. This week has gone by so fast but I have been really tired the whole week. TJ came back from visiting family in western Nebraska on Tuesday evening. He had a great time and even got to go see Mount Rushmore while he was gone. It was great to see the excitement in his face when he got back and told us all about it and showed us his pictures. He left again today to go with his mom to stay with some other family until next Wednesday. It sure is different not having him around and we are already missing him. He has such a great personality and is so funny now that he has gotten use to being around us. After he gets back from this trip it will be time to start thinking about getting him all ready for school to start the 19th. He will be starting his first year at the middle school so I am sure it is a scary but also exciting time for him. This week I have also been watching our friends 9 month old baby girl. She has been good and plays good with the girls. Actually she just mostly watches them play and fight with each other but it has been fun. Watching her also confirms that we are not ready for another baby right now. We are loving having the older kids right now and it is working well for our family. The girls still really need a lot of attention and having three under three is a little crazy. No wait its A LOT crazy! Maybe later when the girls are a little older we will want another baby but we are completely happy having older kids right. We are going to get my sister this weekend and she will be staying with us until the end of the week. We always have a good time when she is here with us and the girls can't quit talking about her coming. We have several appointments next week so it will also be nice to have some extra help. The girls have been doing great and love this cooler weather we are having so they can actually spend more time out in their sandbox. Lately they have been spending a lot of time playing with the neighbor kids so they have been exhausted each night. Scott and I are doing good too. Scott just finished his first season of soft ball playing on a team for his work. They did really good during the regular games but when it got into the last couple games they didn't' do too good. He has a great time playing and is now planning on playing this fall too. I have been doing great too. Last Friday night Scott watched the girls and I got to go to the movie with our neighbor lady who I have become really good friends with over the last couple months. We went to the movie hangover and it was so funny! When we got home it wasn't even 10pm and everyone at my house was asleep. I couldn't believe it so the neighbor and I decided to go to Walmart since we would actually be able to go shop without our kids. It was so nice and quiet and great to actually get to look around at things. Funny how you miss little things like going to walmart alone. We hope everyone is doing great!
