Whoa

So sorry about the neglect.  When you are with most of your family you tend to forget to write in your blog.  Sorry Josh you were not here to be with us.  I dedicate this post to you.  I hope you like it.

To start things off I will talk about Caleb.  For the first time in his life he went camping and slept in a tent.  He did so amazingly well that we are planning our next trip.  Don't know when but we are going to go before winter gets here.  The only bad part about the ordeal was that someone had to carry him.  We didn't want him to get too dirty or his knees all roughed up so we carried him.  Once in awhile, when we couldn't take it anymore we just let him loose on the ground and boy did he love that.  Another thing that we found out was that he is very shy around new people.  He would hide his face in our shoulders whenever someone would come up to him and say hi.  It was very adorable.  I love my son.  Another thing that he is starting to do is stand up all by himself and without holding onto something.  He can also stand for about 30 seconds without a brace.  I know for a fact that he will be walking soon.  One last thing about Caleb is that he now has four teeth, all in the front, two on top and two on the bottom.  It is cute to see him smile.

With this camp-out, Carolyn got three days all to herself.  I took Caleb up on Tuesday and then Carolyn came up Thursday.  She got to relax, do her homework, watch movies, play the x-box and all sorts of thing.  Though she did say that she was sad and felt like something was missing.  She did miss us and we missed her too.  She had to stay home because of school.  Her schooling is going well.  With this geology class her eyes have been opened to a whole new world.  When we go hiking she is looking at the rocks instead of the trees. She is naming rocks instead of animals.  She is collecting rocks instead of bugs (ok, she has never collected bugs).  The point is she is enjoying this class to the fullest.  Except for the tests and quizzes.  She is halfway through this semester already.  Time is flying.

As for me, it is the same.  Go sun tanning all day, everyday.  Come home and play around with Caleb and Ginger.  Eat, sleep and do it again.  I hope that I can find time to study for the placement test.  I need to take that soon so that I can register before the end of August and get a decent class.  When that time comes I am going to be super busy.  My games are going to have to wait.

Now as for our house, everything is going well.  The inspections are all but done, just one more tiny one which could happen anytime.  Hopefully it does so that on Wednesday we can close the deal and finally get the house.  We are sooooo excited to get it.  Yes it is going to be a lot of work but that is fine with us.  That is what we want.  After two years of marriage we are finally about to get a place of our own that we can decorate how we want, design it how we want and play with it how we want.  It will be ours!!!!  Sadly we wont be able to move into it for about a month while we do some repairs and cleaning up.  Carpet, paint, doors, walls and other things that need to be done for it to be ready for Caleb and Ginger.  They are going to love the place too.  A lot more room and freedom.

Finally the most important news of these past few weeks.  Carolyn, Caleb and I (and Ginger) are going to become an eternal family on the 29th of July at 6:00 p.m.  YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!  I hope all goes well and it is not a stressful day.  I just want it to be calm and peaceful, full of the spirit.  I am sure it will be.

Ok Josh I hope you liked it.  Take it easy and we will talk soon.
