28 more days!

Until we move! Brent has 3 days of school this week and he is done. After that we will start packing. Our friends Shawn and Susi will be visiting from Boston June 12-21, we are very excited for them to get here. Little do they know they will be helping us pack! :) I think they came out last summer when we were packing to move up here! :) We might give them a little break this time though!
The kids are both sick today-they started running fevers yesterday and through the night, and Sam woke up this morning and got sick all over the floor. I hate it when they are sick-I feel so bad for them. Hopefully it is over soon. Both of their temperatures were up to 103, but luckily the Tylenol brought it down. Fevers scare me.
No big plans for Memorial Day because the kids are sick, I think Brent will BBQ for dinner and we will have a relaxing day at home.
I posted a few new pictures below-taken within the last week or so.

Sam and his new buddy "Henry" - they have been inseperable the last week or so. We told Sam we were going for a walk and he buckled Henry in, gave him his blanket (dishcloth) and a pacifier! Grandma Linda gave Sam this bunny. Posted by Hello

They love to ride on the sit-n-spin together, until Sam decides it's too heavy to turn around! Posted by Hello

Such a handsome guy! Posted by Hello

Should we be worried? Sam was in his room and was awful quiet-so we called his name and he came out wearing this-Ella's new swimsuit! Posted by Hello

39 more days!

As of tomorrow, we will only have 39 days before we move to Colville! We are getting very excited about it, but not excited about packing up the house! We haven't even started yet. We plan to start in 2 weeks when Brent is done with school. Of course, we have no idea where we will put the boxes as we are packing up the house. I guess we'll figure it out.

I just got back from the Seattle area, I went down for work for 5 days and had a great time. I wasn't quite ready to come back! I stayed at Corey's house and got to meet Sean! He is a super nice guy and will fit in well with the family :) I was able to get alot of work done and have fun too-I even fit some shopping in!

The kids are giving us a rough time as usual-it is just never-ending! Sam had 5 timeouts today...and he was at the sitters for 6 hours of that! The timeouts were all at home! Ella is busy getting into everything. Sometimes we are at our wits end!

We rented a house in Colville and are excited about it-it is downtown, walking distance to everything, has a nice little backyard-it should be a fun area to live until we buy a house in 6 months to a year. The newspaper has already published an article on Brent coming to town-the current band director wrote us an email and told him they have never seen them welcome anyone into the district like this before! :) So of course that makes us even more excited to get there!
