It has been awhile since adding anything to the blog-sorry! I have one word to sum up everything that has happened in the last couple weeks-Moving. I am so glad that we absolutely love this house because I would be happy if we never have to move again. It has been crazy. The first week we could barely see what color the carpet is because of all the boxes. I will say that we are doing pretty well now. All the boxes are unpacked and the kitchen is organized. We are still working on decorating and organizing the rest of the house. Fun for us! I think the first room we got completely organized was the basement toy room/family room-that way we were able to unpack everything else while the kids stayed busy.
We love the house-it has been a lot of work, but well worth it. Cole can't wait for friends and family to come over so he can show off his room and the toy room. Luke and Ellee love having their own beds, they are sleeping so well-even if we do find them in the same bed when we go in after naptime or bedtime.
I will try to keep things updated more often-we'll see how it goes.

Right after we had made the last post about not knowing when we would close on the house we got a phone call from the title company asking us if we could come in and close. Yay! Everything went great-plus bonus for us the payment ended up being about a hundred less than we expected. We should get the keys on Monday and start moving next week. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Well, we are getting the run around on the house. We've had three different closing dates and nothing has happened yet. There was some sort of dispute between the builder and lender, then the title companies name listed on the documents was incorrect so we had to wait for them to fix it. I don't know, we will see what happens.
The family is good. We are all on the mend after our bout with the flu, ear infections, and throat infections. It was actually nice to have everyone mellow out for a bit. Now that everyone is good we've had a fun time listening to Luke and Ellee talking together. They seem to have a language all their own. We will sit and watch them talk to each other, telling each other what to do and playing games using words they can only understand. We do like their version of each other's names. Ellee calls Luke El-luke and Luke calls Ellee Luk-ee. No matter how many times we correct them they just smile and use their own version.
One more story about Cole. He was mesmerized watching all the specials this week about President Hinkley. A couple nights ago in his prayers he said "I am thankful President Hinkley came to live with you and that he will get his body again." How cute is that?
