We moved!

Well, what has happened lately...

We have sold my house (we hope). It should close next month. But with that, we moved to Amy's house and are neck deep in boxes and can not find anything. Thankfully I had help from friends from Church because we would not have gotten it done with out them!

The kid's rooms are pretty much done (Patrick has to share his closet with me and we do not have that done yet). We have a ton of stuff for sale on Craig's list and hope to have a big garage sale sometime after Kate arrives. Tonx is not sure about the move. He is a bit out of sorts not having his normal places to lay and watch the birds.

Amy is miserable....she was hoping they were going to tell her to go straight to the hospital on Tuesday when we had our appointment. We start going weekly now. She still swears she will deliver before the month of July. Her back is hurting and she has trouble sleeping. Kate likes to move around a lot at night. We moved the recliner in our room and that has been a savior for her. We did finally go out and buy a crib, stroller, car seat, pack-n-play and some other baby stuff. The Relief Society held a shower for Amy and invited some of her work friends. The gifts she received was overwhelming! It was pretty incredible.

Kids are good. We had a piano recital for Elli a three weeks ago and a guitar recital for Patrick two weeks ago. Both did outstanding (I will post Patrick's performance on Face Book). Mary is going to go to a day camp next week at the Boys & Girls Club by our house. Ellis is doing gymnastics one day a week. Patrick is being a bum :). Patrick and Mary are spending some time with us these two next weeks which is fun for me. Though, because work is so busy I have not been able to do as much with them. We have done some bike rides and gone to the park. That is the great thing about the Grayhawk house - the community is really geared to families (that and we are so much closer to our friends like the Reinsteins).

This weekend Elli will be with her Dad and her Cousins from California for Fathers Day. We used some of my hotel points to get a room at a nice hotel in Scottsdale with a water park. We are going to go to a Zoo with a new Aquarium on Friday afternoon and then just hang by the pool on Saturday. It will be fun (we just hope the rainy season does not start on Saturday!).

Amy and I are both swamped at work. It is good to be busy but both of us are pretty stressed with the work load. Amy has a couple of classes she is teaching this week and then is going to start backing down her work load. She has hired a young man we met through the class at ASU we teach to help her out. He is an amazing guy. Today he spent the afternoon correcting all the issues with our home wireless network I created when I swapped out the cable modem. He has been doing all types of things for Amy to make her life easier at work and he gets to learn the mortgage business from a great teacher. He and his wife also expecting a baby.

That is about it for now. I am sure there is tons of stuff I am missing. I have started riding my bike again (another benefit of Grayhawk) three or four days a week and it has helped me connect with some old friends who I use to ride with who live up this way.

I hope you all are well. We miss you all.
