We are excited that we found a house. It is in Centennial. We can't close on the house until Nate receives his first pay check, so we hope to be in the house some time in the first part of December. We move in exactly 2 weeks. We have so much to pack. Even though we have so much to do, I'm trying to make sure the kids have a good time for Halloween and Katelyn has a great birthday next week.
We have had a very busy last few weeks. We do not anticipate it slowing down any time soon since we are preparing for some big changes in our lives. Nate will be starting a new job November 15 in Denver. It is the same job he has now, but for the State of Colorado instead of Utah. We are excited for the change. With every change comes stress and a lot of decisions. Sometimes we both look back at being a little kid with envy. The biggest decision was what to wear to school. I still have issues with what to wear and now we have to make decisions about if to sell or rent our condo, what house to buy, what city to live in, and how do we uproot our whole lives here and move it to another state. We'll do it one piece at a time and hope we make good decisions that we can live with.
We have had other fun.
Thank you Gail and Grandma Jean for taking us to see The Lion King. It was amazing to see and I know that Katelyn loved being the only little person among all the grownups.
We started potty training Sadie this last week. She has done amazing. She has only had 3 accidents all week. We are very proud of her. She has also discovered that without a diaper she has what she likes to call "squishy butt". I guess her butt feels plumper and softer without a diaper. Makes me laugh every time she says it and makes all of us feel it.
I hope this next week goes as good as this last one and wish us luck to find a great house this next weekend as we go to find one.
Katelyn has become very creative with her coloring. One Sunday, she got the scissors, paper, and pencil out and went to work making this life size person. I'm so glad that I took a picture of it because just the other day I asked her where she put it and she informed me she didn't want it any more and she threw it in the trash.
Cinderella
She loves to make these scenes by cutting out each piece and then gluing them together. Castle with knights, dungeon, prisoners, swords, windmill, king, queen, and a fire breathing dragon.
