Time to catch up

It's been awhile, so here's an update. We've spent the summer looking to buy a house. It's been quite the whirlwind. We've finally found one that we like. Our offer has been accepted and in about 3 1/2 weeks we'll be able to move in (if everything continues to go well). We're excited and nervous. It's such a big step, but one we are ready for. So once we move in we'll have about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before the baby is due. My plan is to take it nice and slow packing and being careful about not over doing it, we don't want this baby to come too soon. :-)
We can't believe how fast the time has gone from when we found out we were going to have another baby til now. It's hard to believe the baby will be here in less than 2 months. We are getting so excited to meet this little guy!! When we move we'll be closer to my parent's house, which is going to be great. We'll have plenty of help. Jody is already planning on taking two weeks off of work once the baby arrives. It's be so nice having him home.
We seem to be amazed each day by the things Will can do. He's getting to be so big. I can't believe he is already 2 1/2 years old. Where has the time gone? Right now I'm working on potty training him. We are only into day 3 of it, but it's going really well.
Will loves all kinds of sports. Jody and I keep saying we better prepare now, we have a feeling we'll be going to plenty of games from here on out. :-) Will loves going to nursery each week and playing with his friends. And he loves to sing Primary songs. He's favorite right now is "I Hope They Call Me on A Mission." He calls it Uncle Chad's song. He's loving getting e-mails and letters from Chad.
Chad's doing well on his mission. He's been out of the MTC for about 2 weeks now. His companion is from Germany and Chad said that he's lucky that his companion is such a great cook! Chad is serving in the Liverpool, Wigan area.
Last week Jody's dad came into town for business. He stayed overnight with us. We enjoyed spending time with him. Will loved being around Grandpa Jack, though he wished Grandma Cathy could have come too. Ashley and Drew (sister and brother-in-law) came down for dinner and we all had a good visit.
Well we hope all is well for everyone!


Six weeks to go. Will loves giving the baby kisses.

Yea for you and your new home. It's a huge blessing to own your own house! We can't wait to see you after Christmas. I hope you'll be ready for a stampede in your new house. We're all excited to come and meet the new little guy.
