Just a few more weeks, hopefully!

We are doing good. We had to push the closing date on the house another week, so instead of signing on the house last week, we're hoping that nothing will come up so we can do it tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for us! :-)

If all goes well the plan is to paint, have carpet laid, and move in by next week. I plan to take it really easy just so this baby doesn't decide to come too early, though by next week we'll hit that lucky number of 38 weeks so all should be just fine if he does decide to come.

Will has been a great help in packing. He loves to help put the boxes together and tape them up. I don't think he quite understands that we're moving, but I hope by talking about it with him that it won't be too much of a shock for him when we finally get into the house. Plus he'll have a backyard to run around and play in, which will hopefully help transition.

While packing, I'm unpacking all of Will's baby clothes and such to have out just in case the little guy decides to come early. Will has enjoyed playing with the car seat and seeing all the little clothes that don't fit him anymore. He's going to make a great big brother. He's so sweet around other babies and is usually very gentle.

We'll try to get pictures of the baby up as soon as we can so you all can see the little guy. Though life is busy, we are excited and can't wait for him to join our family!

Jody is planning on taking two weeks off once the baby arrives, which will be so great. It'll give us time to get used to having four in our family and get settled into the house.

Chad is doing great on his mission! Last week he had the opportunity of going to a meeting where Elder Bednar presided. Chad said it was a great experience and one he won't soon forget.

Have a great day!
