Sorry for the big delay between posts, but I've been busy busy busy. The house is finally done! We're somewhat moved in, enough that we are living there now! We're moving the rest of our stuff during the evenings and Deanna is doing some during the day. We're so happy that it's finally done! The house is wonderful, though there are a couple of minor things that need finishing, the power company cut down some trees that are still laying around, I&J is going to chip them in a couple of weeks, and they also need to fix the grade by the basement door to outside. The dishwasher leaks a little, but it is usable until Sears can come fix it. We're supposed to be getting our washers and dryers, the satellite TV hookup, and the landline phone installed today. I'm going to be getting Verizon wireless broadband instead of satellite modem, less equipment, and hopefully EVDO will be out where we are before long. Even still, the 1X-RTT isn't bad, about 2x a 56k modem, and I don't download big stuff that often. I need to get a LP tank installed for the fireplace and the generator that my father-in-law is getting for us.
Meagan, Brenna, Sarah and I are all still doing Karate, though Sarah is going to be taking a break to play soccer this fall. Riley and Eryn are also going to be playing, and I am going to be coaching. Should make for a busy couple of months, with us still moving in and all. School has already started for the older 3 girls, and Riley and Eryn will be starting pre-school on the 30th. Deanna's going to be lonely during the day while they are gone, but she will still have Lissa for a couple more years.
That's all for now, as you can see, I've been quite busy. Hopefully I'll be able to post a bit more regularly now that the house is finished.
