House Update...just kidding?!?!? :)

Hi everyone...did you miss me? I'm sorry to say that there will be no pictures on this blog owing to the fact that we STILL don't have a house and STILL don't have the Internet...however, we DO have a phone...hooray!!! (especially considering that our cell phones finally got the ax about 2-days ago!!!) Here is our new number, so please call anytime:

913-254-9814

Okay, so here are some updates. Supposedly we can close on our house anytime after today...but we didn't hear from our Realtor, so we're not getting our hopes up. When thought we were closing this week...which we still might...we bought a funky couch for our awesome family room to go along with our new 42-inch plasma t.v....that's right, I said a plasma t.v. Todd is in hog heaven!!! :) As for our other purchases, I found a really cool train table for Riley this weekend at a yard sale and Riley hasn't stopped playing with it since. Yup, it's just Riley and his lead based painted Thomas trains...for those of you who don't know, there was a major recall on Thomas trains due to the fact that they were painted with LEAD BASED PAINT!!! Maybe that explains why Riley is absolutley insane?!?! :)

We went to the Zoo this weekend where a gorilla tried to kill Todd. He just ran straight at him and punched into the safety glass right where Todd was standing. Apparently Todd poses a big threat in the jungle world. As the gorilla was charging Todd, all Riley wanted to play with was the big fly in the little room we were in. I kept saying, "Riley look! A big monkey!" And all Riley kept saying was, "Look Mamma, fly!" (Another side effect of lead based paint?!?!)

Let's see, what else. Tanner is growing in leaps and bounds and is on his way to crawling. He loves to be on his tummy and kick his legs and flail his arms as fast as he can. It is pretty darn cute. He is so cute and cuddly and I can't wait to be able to post pictures and video of him so everyone can see.

Todd had an exciting week at Garmin. For this project that Todd is in charge of, a heart rate monitor, his design was picked over 5 others to show to the CEO!! I'm so proud. Hopefully this means that his design will be put into production which would be awesome!!!

That's about it. I think Todd will be mad if I spend one more minute on the computer at the library while he is looking at the Thomas the Train website with Riley. That website is possibly the most boring website on the face of the planet!!!

House Update

Okay, so we FINALLY understand what the heck is going on with our house. Apparently when the house went into foreclosure the sheriff signed the deed over to the WRONG PEOPLE!!! So, the deed needs to be signed over by the wrong people to the right people so it can then be signed over to US!!!!! How annoying is that?!?!? Todd and I now have the closing attorney's name and number so we can keep on top of them seeing as how they are the ones who are in charge of the whole signing the papers thing. You know, you just can't really trust people to do these things for you. It always pays to be involved with important things like this. YIKES!!!!

On another note, we should have phone/Internet service this Tuesday...that is IF AT&T has service to our particular apartment building. They don't have record of having service in building L, but you never know. If I don't get phones and Internet soon I might have to be committed...seriously, I'm not joking. I sure do love Riley and Tanner, but I am finding that having no adult connections, whether personally, on the phone, or on the Internet, is tough. Plus, once we have the Internet, then I can start posting pictures and videos again. Yea!!

Okay, I'm suppose to be grocery shopping right now, but made a little pit stop at the library for a little computer time...shhh, don't tell Todd. :)
