Short update...

Oh man ...... I have been SO busy the past little while that I haven't wanted to blog about anything. I really should be getting to work with finishing packing, but I wanted to take a minute to tell you what we have been up to.

Between taking care of two sick kids and a sick husband ... and packing I have been exhausted. I did take a few days and not do anything but take care of my family ...... that was nice. Now I am trying to play catch-up with the packing. We are almost done ...... there is just a lot of small things that we need to pack. Starting today we are going to start bringing all of the stuff that we have packed and put it out in the garage with the rest of our stuff. We will also be able to put our boxes and stuff the way we want them for when we pack up the moving truck. Stew leaves on July 3rd to go down to the States to pick up our moving truck. We will pack it up on July 6th and then Stew and Ethan will leave the next morning ...... only 10 more days until they head off to Cleveland. Crazy how fast it has come up. We did get the apartment that we applied for. I am excited to make it look "Homey" ...... hopefully we will be there for a little while. We are going to try to find a house that we can rent out, but we won't do that for a year or two.

I have been helping my mother-in-law with her backyard. She wanted to put in some planters and a patio (the patio isn't going in for a little bit) ...... the planters look awesome so far. We are almost done with them. Hopefully we can get our packing done early so we can help her finish them.

Ryan is finally walking!! She has a hard time standing up on her own when she is in the middle of the room, so she will walk on her knees until she can grab something to stand up. She is growing up so fast. She is trying to be her own little person and I am trying to still baby her!

Ethan turns 4 on Friday! I can't believe that I have to register him for Kindergarten in March of next year! He is such a good boy! I feel very blessed to have Ethan and Ryan in my life!

Well ...... I better get to work packing ......

So until next time ...
