Well It has been a while

I am so sorry. It has been over two months since I have posted. We have been very busy. As most of you know we have bought our first house. The process was something I hope we don't have to do again in a very, very long time. We love our new house. We have so much more room. It is great. Buster is outside now and loving it.
Our new address is: 401 N. Henson Rd. Villa Grove, IL 61956
We have ripped out carpet in our living room and the hallway so far. We now have really nice hardwood floors. We have also painted the living room and we are going to do the kitchen. The rest of the house will be painted very soon. My awesome father-in-law put in new pipes for the kitchen so now I don't have to drain the kitchen sink into buckets. We had a little rust back up in the original pipes. We plan on redoing our bathroom soon and making our family/extra room into a very cool St. Louis Cardinals room. I can't wait until we are all done.
The kids are very excited about starting the new schools. Angel will be going to Mahomet schools this year. She is very excited. Taylor and Tyler will be going to Villa Grove Schools. Tyler and I went to a Kindergarten Mixer this past Wednesday night to meet the teachers and some of the other classmates. They start school on Friday Aug. 21st. Taylor and Tyler are going to play soccer and they start practices next week. Taylor is also going to join Girl Scouts and I am looking into Boy Scouts for Tyler. We are joining the Catholic Church here in Villa Grove and Taylor will start classes there on Wednesday nights starting in the middle of Sept. My hours will be changing at work so that I can now take the kids to the bus and then get to work. So needless to say we are going to be very very busy. I am also signing up to help at some of the PTO events. and helping coach or work concessions at soccer games. I have a feeling that things are not going to slow down any time soon.
Angel and Jason have their Birthdays on Aug. 27 so we are trying to decide exactly what we are going to do to celebrate.
The kids are with their grandma and grandpa (Wayne and Debbie) this weekend in St. Louis. They took them to Grant's Farm and the Zoo. On Saturday they are going to Six Flags. I bet they are having a lot of fun. Well that is about it for now. Hope all is well with everyone.
