Just a little busy...

I know I've been a bit behind on updating our blog recently. These last few weeks have been a little crazy for me! Dan's sister, Karin with her son, Arthur, as well as his grandma, Betty, came to town from Utah a few weeks ago. They came for my neice, Katy's blessing. We had so many fun activities while they were here - a fun girls' night at Cheddar's, lots of shopping, halloween activities, and a big family birthday celebration for Carla & Karin (they share the same birthday). Unfortunately, a stomach bug made it's way through the family while they were visiting but we still were able to have a great time together. Most of our plans were flexible. :)

It was so much fun seeing Karin's son, Arthur. He's only one week younger than Tyler so those two had a great time with each other. They spoke the same language - lots of babbling and bubbling! And they were so fascinated with each other! We got lots of laughs watching Arthur and Tyler play together. We wished they lived closer!

During all the festivities we found out that our house in Kyle will be availabe for us to move into on December 1. That's less than a month away now! So we've begun de-junking and organizing so we're only moving what we need to. I want this to be the most efficient and organized move yet - wish me luck!

And in case we weren't quite busy enough... Dan had to go to China this past week for work and will be there until the week of Thanksgiving. He was, of course, very excited about this - and I'm excited for him too, but I must say the timing stinks! Now I have the joy of packing/organizing to do myself. Plus 3 kids. I will give Dan his credit though - he went through and organized all of his things/areas of the house before he left (which let's face it were the most junked up). So I'm actually looking forward to getting everything in order for this move. And I'm always up for a challenge!

With all that's going on, please be understanding if you don't hear from me for awhile... like say January. I'll try my best to keep everyone updated on our status. And a huge thanks to all of you offering help/support right now, we really appreciate it!
