Josh has accepted a job at KLJ in Valley City. We'll be moving this fall after he takes the PE.
We spent the weekend with Jake and Ruth. Jake had a roofing project he wanted to complete before the baby was born, so Josh and Jared helped him with that while the kids played and Ruth and I weeded one of her flowerbeds.
We also go to see Mom and Dad this weekend. It was really good to see them. We (and they) are so excited to be moving closer to them!
While we were in Valley City we looked at houses. We made an offer on one and before we were even home on Sunday, found out that the sellers had accepted our offer.
Here's a link to more pics of the house http://www.valleyrealty.com/page.cfm?pageid=1202&propertyid=13845
We're really excited about the house. It has beautiful wood floors, a nice sun porch, it's really open, has a fire place, a beautifully landscaped yard...We're happy about it.
We just found out about the KLJ job on June 20th, so everything seems to be moving so fast and just falling into place. It is definitely God's Plan.
Now we have to finish painting the buildings and then we can get our house listed. I also have just a little cleaning to do. (sarcastic!!!) My house has gone to the dogs this summer. Josh wants to get our house listed by this weekend, so I've got some work ahead of me.
I better get to that, but first I want to post a little about the kids.
Jeremiah is a pretty good walker. He can even run when he's being chased by his siblings or when steeling Susanna's sippy cup. (pretty funny!) He just started teething again. He is definitely our hardest teether. It just wipes him out. But he's usually pretty happy. He always knows when I'm having a bad day (or moment) and cheers me up with a smile or a giggle.
Johnny loves to color, play with race cars and tractors, and play any kind of ball. Josh and John played golf last night, and from what I could see he was doing really well. Johnny always wants to help. What can I do Mommy? We've been picking veggies out of his and Lu's garden to eat for lunch. John's favorites are potatoes and kohlrabi.
Lu Lu likes to color too, but she spends most of her time ripping the paper off the crayons (and breaking them in the process). John was getting mad at her, so now he has his own crayons with the paper still intact. She loves taking care of her babies and getting dressed up in her Cinderella clothes (dresses and pink and purple). She cries if all of her play dresses are dirty and she has to wear pants. She loves to do things by herself like put on her own shoes and get in and out of her carseat. Her favorite veggies are the open peas and beets. She has been getting very good at playing catch. When Josh and John are playing golf or basket ball, Lu and I play catch with a volley ball (while Jeremiah walks around and finds rocks to eat).
Okay I better go make breakfast. One of these days I'll get up some more current pics.
