Where did summer go?

I really can't believe this cool weather we have been having and we are enjoying it so much. As I mentioned in the last post, Tate had a pain crisis while we were gone on vacation last weekend but it didn't last long. By Wednesday she was down to just being on the ibuprofen and active as ever. This was the shortest crisis she has ever had. Hopefully there won't be any more now! It is really sad to see this disease limit her from doing things like swimming. It seems we just aren't going to be able to let her swim if it is even a little bit cold. Three of the last 4 crisis have been linked to her getting too cold from swimming. We finally were able to close on our new house on Thursday. We are so glad that the other one is sold and this new one is purchased. There seem to be one thing after another come up with the whole process and we were beginning to wonder if the new buyers of our old house were ever going to get their stuff all together. We are loving the new house and got the garage all organized last weekend. Friday night TJ went roller skating and my friend Roxane and I went out for supper. Scott and Haley stayed home with the girls. They had a great time and spent the evening over at the playground by our house. Saturday TJ went to spend the night with his mom while Scott, Haley, and I cleaned and organized the garage. Later Saturday afternoon Roxane came over to watch the girls and Scott, Haley, and I went to the Tri-State Cage fights at the Lancaster Events Center. We had a great time and saw some good fights. Sunday we got up very early and headed to Kearney to see my grandpa who is in the hospital there. It was nice to see some of my family again including my aunt from Texas who was here visiting. After visiting for a while we drove to Grand Island for my aunts little girls 1st birthday party. The girls had a lot of fun and played so hard they were exhausted. When we got back to Lincoln we got TJ and came home to try and get ready for another week! We are finally getting everything organized and feel like things are starting to slow down a bit. That is a great feeling but won't last long I am sure. We are looking forward to the weekend. My mom and brother will be coming to stay with us Saturday. The state fair is also going on and I think we are planning on spending Friday evening there. We got unlimited ride passes for Scott, Haley, and TJ and I am sure we will have to have some fair goodies! Later today I will try and get some pictures up since I have a bunch from the last couple weeks.
