Update...

Hello everyone-
Just wanted to let you all know that, yes, we are still alive. We are living with Dee's parents in Mapleton. They have been so gracious to let us invade them for the time being. It has been a little stressful for me, though. Just imagine... a store with fragile, valuable, breakable stuff everywhere, then imagine taking your two hyper, active boys into that store while the store owner sits and watches you try to keep your children from destroying their wonderful store which they have been so kind to invite you into. Their house is not childproof, nor should it be, so it has been a little hard. But I do have to give my boys credit, they have been very well behaved (for the most part).

Rylan has really struggled with moving, he misses our house. He requires a lot of routine and stability, so this has definately thrown him for a loop. He and Hayden are not only sharing a bedroom, but they are also sharing a bed. Rylan could not be happier about that! He holds Hayden's ear while they sleep.

Hayden has adjusted very well with moving, it has not been a problem at all. He is a little bored though, because he doesn't have any friends to play with. We have been talking lately about him switching schools when we get into a house, and he is having a very hard time with that. I don't blame him. He is at a wonderful school, we love his teacher, and all of his friends are at Springlake Elementary. I know he will be fine once he gets into a new school, but I feel bad that his is so sad and having such anxiety over this.

I live in my car anymore. I still drive Hayden to school in Payson, so I make that trip twice a day. I can't wait until he can ride the bus again.

News: Hayden has lot both of his front teeth (I would post a picture, but my computer is still being dumb). Rylan is 100% potty trained-Hallelujah!!!!!! The best news is....we have found a house! It is under contract, and we are set to close in 2 weeks :) It is in south Santaquin (if you would have told me 10 years ago that I would live in Santaquin, I would have probably died laughing!), we love the neighborhood and we have some really great friends who live there (and if they ever move and leave us there, I will never talk to them again!). We cannot wait to be in our new home! So, once again, we will be needing volunteers to help us move just one more time (the first weekend in November--my parents have already made up some lame excuse about being out of town then). Please come visit us, even though we are at the far end of Utah County--it's really not that far!
