Sunday night

A lot has happened since the last post so I will try to remember everything and bring you all up to date. We did end up getting everything settled with the sale of our house and purchase of the new house. We still haven't closed on either of them but that is scheduled for this Thursday. Can't wait for that to all be over with. We did move all weekend last weekend and got all moved in just in time for school to start. Scott's dad and step mom came down and helped us move. It was a very long and exhausting day. Tuesday we went to TJ's open house at his new middle school and were able to meet most of his teachers. He says he really likes middle school and it's so much different than elementary. Haley is doing great at her new school also and has already met a lot of new friends. Thursday there was an open house at her school so our whole family went and were able to tour the building. Scott never went with us before for the tour so he enjoyed getting to see it. It's amazing how big it is especially after him and I both graduated from such small schools. Friday Scott and TJ went golfing with a friend of ours here in Lincoln and had a great time. TJ has only golfed a couple times and really likes it. He had been asking for the last week to go so when the opportunity came up he was ready to go. While they were gone golfing Haley, the girls, and I went out grocery shopping and packed for our trip to Kansas City to the Great Wolf Lodge that we took this weekend. We left for Kansas early Saturday morning and got there around noon. We had a great time in the water park and also did some miniature golf. Keely has a great time in the water even though it wasn't very warm. Tate had a good time too but kept getting cold. I knew once we got there I should have brought her pain medicine just in case she started to have a pain crisis. Well sure enough she did last night and I didn't have anything other than her ibuprofen. That helped for about 2 hours. About midnight she started crying and complaining about her arms hurting. At 1am we decided we were going to have to take her to the emergency room. They did all the normal stuff they do when we are in Lincoln like start and IV, give fluids, do labs, and chest x ray. Her counts were a little low but had not crashed so bad she needed a blood transfusion so they gave us a prescription for her pain med that we usually give her and sent us on our way. We got back to the motel about 5am. After getting a couple more hours of sleep we got up and around and headed out around 11am. Today Tate has been barley making it until its time for her next dose of pain medicine so I hope that it gets better through the night and we don't end up back at the hospital. Scott and I are exhausted and I can't believe the weekend is already over. We are starting to get a good schedule going in the mornings though. I take TJ to the bus about 6:55am and then come back and get Haley and the girls, then take Haley to school about 7:30am. The girls have been ready for naps by 10am lately so it has been working out good. Then I pick Haley up from school at 3pm and on the way back get TJ from where his bus drops him off at. It's working good for now and hope it just gets better. We just got our Internet going this weekend and it sure is nice to be able to be back online. The house is still a disaster but slowly I am getting things put away. Hope you all had a great weekend.
