Wednesday afternoon

Here it is again almost a week since I last posted. Everything is going great still and we are definitely enjoying the summer. TJ is still here with us and doing great so far. He has been going to day camp just a couple days a week so we figure he must be having fun here. Today he decided to go because they were going to go on a tour of Memorial Stadium. Who would want to turn that down? I have never even been there! Friday at Keely's 18 month check up she had to get a few shots and all the normal stuff that they do at those checks. She is now almost 23 pounds so she is doing great but still behind her sister who is now around 26 pounds. Friday evening we went out for supper for Scott's birthday at HuHot Mongolian Grill. It is one of our favorite restaurants. When we got there there was a fire truck and police car at the restaurant next door but we really didn't know what was going on. After finding our we were going to have a long wait we decided we would wait outside so the girls could play around on the sidewalk. Well when we got out there one of the firemen came and told us we had to wait in our car or go back inside until they got things figured out. We still didn't know what was going on but decided to go inside. We finally got seated and after we all had eaten one plate everyone started leaving and then two police officers came up to our table and told us that we needed to leave. We all got outside and everyone was just standing around thinking we would go back inside and finish eating and pay. Pretty soon another firemen came and told everyone we had to get in our vehicles and leave! There was a silver car outside the restaurant that had a suspicious package in it and they believed it was a bomb. We did find out later that someone had put a device in the car that looked very much like a bomb and that it wasn't real. We haven't heard anymore about if they found out who did it but it was very scary. Needless to say we didn't get completely full but that was probably a good thing. Saturday we had a 12 year old boy for the day as respite and he was quite the talker. We had a good time with him but he was the total opposite of TJ who doesn't talk at all hardly. Also, on Saturday Tatum started having pain in her hands again and has been having a pain crisis ever since. We have been managing the pain very well this time and she has continued to eat and drink great through it. Today I have been able to cut back on the narcotic pain medicine but am still giving the ibuprofen about every 5 hours. This crisis has been way different than the first two and I am so thankful for that. No hospital stays! We are hopeful that today is the end of the pain although yesterday she started coughing and has a runny nose. Keely also has the runny nose so it's probably just a virus. Sunday my sister stayed with the girls in the afternoon and Scott and I went to some open houses. It was fun getting to see what all is out there and we might try to go again this weekend. Our house goes on the market tomorrow. I am very anxious about it and don't really know what to expect as far as how often we are going to be having to leave to have it shown. We will have an open house the 26th and hope that a lot of people come to that since it should be spotless for it. We have been working hard on getting things straightened up and ready to be shown. Now that we have it looking so great I told Scott maybe we should just keep it. We moved a couple things out to the garage so it didn't look so crowded and it looks so big now. We had a great time with my sister here. The neighbor kids and TJ and Haley got along great and kept pretty busy. Haley and the neighbor girl went roller skating Friday night. That was something new for Haley since they don't have that kind of stuff where she lives. So far we don't have any big plans for the weekend but who knows what might come up. We hope you all have a great week.
