It's been a fast month and a half. The kids and I stayed with my parents. Jason stayed with his sister to be near work and school, then came up to be with us on the weekends. We were able to close on our new home in two weeks time...once we finally found it. We are slow going in our efforts to get settled in. Jason finishes this summer semester in less than a week--we can hardly wait to have some fun summer adventures and lots of time to fix up the new place.

I have a couple of funny things to relay. About two weeks ago when we were still at my parents Addie was carrying around one of those HUGE cardboard books (it's like 2' by 1') when she said: "Hey Mom, this sure is a big book. And that means it's heavy like a giant sandwich." This wasn't the first time she used a sandwich as a unit of measurement, nor has it been the last. LOL.

Then just last night Jason and Addie were getting themselves ready for bed while I was getting Lorelai to bed. They were done doing all the things I had asked them to--brush teeth, go to the bathroom, change into jammies, pick up toys, etc.--but Jason went above my requirements by not waiting for me to join them for prayers. I heard him call Addie over to kneel down with him. At which point he thanked Heavenly Father for their day, that we have food to eat, and then he added "I wish I had more money in my wallet." HA.

A couple of things: we cant wait to have some fun summer adventures with you too! Secondly - I think a sandwich as a unit of measurement is a pretty good idea. And lastly - I love that last story so much! Everyone wishes they had more money in their wallet. The economy hits even the youngest of us. :) Love ya
