(So, I still can't figure out how to post the pictures within the text. They keep posting at the top and I can't move them!! I'll keep trying! )Even though I haven't written in a while a lot has happened in the last few weeks.
Shane turned 3 months on the 20th. He is a happy boy with lots of smiles to share. He now grabs for toys, rolls from his back to his belly, is always sucking on his fingers and loves to watch his big sister. We brought out the exersaucer which he seems to enjoy, but not as much as Kaylin!
Kaylin is putting so many words together. She loves the zoo, the park, rocks, keeping track of what everyone is doing and making sure to tell them when they are not doing what she thinks they should be! , playing with chalk, and she really likes to help cook. She could mix all day long! She is so busy, but still loves to cuddle.
We started our language classes on Tues and Thursday nights. Our teacher is a 79 year old Dutch man and is hysterical! We are learning a lot more than language from him. It is really a lot of fun. Thankfully my parents watch the kids on Tuesday nights and Matt's parents watch them on Thursday nights.
The house has not sold yet, but this is the last week it will be on the market! YEAH!! We have someone who wants to rent it for the entire time we are gone and there is a couple who is considering writing an offer to buy. They plan to have a decision by the end of the week. I am so happy to have this weight lifted off of our shoulders!
We just had to buy a new dishwasher...go figure I have been wanting a new one since we moved in here and a month before we leave this one breaks so we get to buy one for a new family to use! At least if we rent the house I'll get some good use out of it when we get back. I have to say though, I have been having a good time washing the dishes with Kaylin. She is a great rinser and gets very upset when there aren't any more dishes to wash! The new one will be installed this coming Monday.
The trim on the house was supposed to be painted the first week of Sept, but they are running behind so hopefully it will be done next week. We also were supposed to have a meeting with basement inspector on the 5th, but they didn't show up. We have another meeting this Monday.
Still working on getting the Apostille Stamps. Matt's, Kaylin's and Shane's paperwork have all been sent out, but I still need to get mine and the one for our Wedding Cert. That is the goal for tomorrow....
Our plane tickets have been booked for October 4. We are on the 6:15pm United flight out of Chicago. We can call 48 hours ahead for seat assignments and hope to get in the side rows where there are only 2 across. That way either Matt or I can sit in front of Kaylin so she is not kicking the back of a stranger's seat! Also, we won't have anyone sitting next to us which will be nice because I have a feeling we will be doing a lot of moving around! We also are hoping to get a bassinet for Shane.
The movers are coming Sep 25, 26 and 29 to pack up and send everything...2 weeks from Thursday. I can't believe it!!
