Things are starting to move forward for us. We had the walk through with our house, and they've already fixed or adjusted any problems we saw. It had been a couple of weeks since I had seen the house so it was so fun to go see it again. I love the house!!! Now we are waiting on getting the official closing date. It should be sometime this week. Cross your fingers for us!
As far as our family goes we are all doing well. Luke was really sick on Friday night throwing up a total of 10 times. We thought he might have food poisoning but the rest of us were fine and we all ate the same thing, so not likely. When I went to clean up his bed and toys I found about 30 little beads in their room and on their bed. They were from Ellee's baby that broke the day before. We think Luke ate some of the beads and his body was trying to flush them out of his system. The good news from all of this is that he had no problem telling us when he needed to go potty because he could tell it was coming. He only had one dirty diaper (during naptime) all day-so bonus for us. He seems to have mastered how to use the potty, we'll have to see if he can continue to tell us when to go. Ellee had a really hard time with the whole sick time for Luke. She was sooooo jealous and didn't understand that Mommy needed to help Luke. It was so sad! Cole on the other hand was such a good helper; he got diapers when I needed them, ran and got wet wipes or paper towels to help clean up, and even helped get milk for Ellee. Plus he thought it was pretty cool that we watched movies all night long and that Mommy slept in the kids room to help.
Damon hasn't had a very good few days off. He usually enjoys his days off but with sick kids and training on two of his four days off it wasn't much of a break. I am glad I am off on Monday so he won't have to stay up with the kids when he gets home.

Ugh! Sounds like a dreadful weekend for everyone :( I'm glad Luke seems to be feeling better. I just had a little freak out moment when I realized Cole is fast approaching FIVE years old. How did that happen? I can't believe how Luke is doing so well with the potty too, you lucky jerk :P That's awesome!

Keep posted on the house progress! I'm really excited you guys are going to be able to get into the house after all. YAY!!!

It was fun talking to you yesterday and I am absolutly cracking up about Angie's lucky jerk comment! Ruby had so much fun with your kids yesterday. You really are such a great mom. Sorry for giggling when you were explaining to Cole what a tattle tail was. It was so funny! And I also appologize for Ruby giving him a reason to come get you.

I am so happy that you will be in your home soon!

That is really exciting about your home. I can hardly wait to see it.

Yay, for Luke. I know Ellee was showing a lot of interest too--Is she doing anything anymore?
