That took a while

I am sorry that took so long to write again. I have been really busy, but I have to admit I have been dedicating more time to my new myspace page. I was very against starting a myspace until a good friend of mine just broke down and started one for me and I have to admit I really enjoy it. It is a little addicting. I found my childhood best friend that I haven't talked to in 14 years or so and we got the chance to catch up. Reuben found some of his high school friends and they informed him that he has a 10 year high school reunion this month, so we have decided to fly up to Portland to attend that! Now that the initial excitement of myspace is over, I will dedicate more time to my blog :-)
There hasn't been much new with the sale of our house. It sounds like it is getting closer to closing, but we have been hearing that for the last 4 weeks. We have less than 4 weeks now until we make the big move up to Oregon, so we are getting nervous about the timing. I have never heard of a sale going like this before! It has definately tested my patience.
The kids are doing great! Ethan is still in preschool and loving every second of it. We had him in speech therapy for a while and we have seen a big improvement so that has been neat. Kate is taller than any kid her age (and kids a year older!) She is off the charts whenever we go to the doctors office. She has a big vocabulary now and LOVES to talk! She is definately your typical little girl. She has to have her purse wherever we go and she has a little play phone in there that she talks on all the time. I think I will have my work cut out for me :-)
Well, I hope you all are doing well and enjoying your summer! I won't wait so long to write again!

Wow! This is my first blog ever! This is a new thing for me and I'm pretty excited! I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but I just kept thinking "Who cares what goes on in my daily life?" Then when I started looking forward to reading my friend's blogs to see what was going in their lives, I started thinking, well maybe others will be interested :-) I have been really bad at keeping in touch with everyone, and this is a good opportunity to give regular updates.
We sure do have a lot going on right now. We put our house up for sale 3 months ago and 2 months ago we got an offer. We are still waiting for this deal to close! Every day there is some reason why things have been extended. We already packed up our house a month ago and have been living out of boxes and suitcases for 4 weeks now! We don't have any dishes, so we have been using paper plates and diposable tupperware to eat out of. We have had enough and can't wait for this all to be over! Work is good for Reuben and me and Ethan has been going to preschool 3 days a week. He absolutely loves it! Kate is 20 months old now, well if Reuben reads this I should say 1 year and 8 months. He hates the whole "months" thing. She is talking so much lately. She can mimic anything we say, and she can do 3-4 word sentences by herself now. She is growing soooo fast!
Well, I will continue to keep everyone updated on the house situation. I hope you are all doing well!
