Wow! This week got away from me. Thankfully this past week was a little less stressful than the previous week. We have some friends that have a couple of kids and we take turns watching each other's kids so we can go on a date. We had already made plans to keep their kids Friday night and since Jeremy was feeling some what better we went a head and kept our plans to keep them for a few hours. Their kids are ages 5 and 3 years old and every time we keep them I am reminded how much my kids have grown! Samuel and Emma were not too thrilled with hanging out with little kids so they stayed in their rooms most of the evening. Chloe played with the kids and Jeremy and I were entertained by the funny things the kids would say. Saturday we all slept in and then Jeremy and I took our kids over to our friend's house and we had a lunch date. After lunch we went to a couple of furniture places just getting some prices on rugs and a few furniture pieces we will need when we move. On Sunday we had some people who had been sick and others who were out of town so we did not meet at our house for church but went to another church for service. We went to some friend's house for brunch this weekend. The family that came a few Sunday's to our church in the beginning invited us over for brunch and it was nice to visit with them for the afternoon. Monday we were out of school for President's Day so we all had the day off. Tuesday was back to school. Wednesday was getting more emails from our lending company wanting more information, so Wednesday was a little stressful. I sent them what they needed, but I have not heard back from them. I am hoping they would of already emailed me back if what I sent did not satisfy their requirements. I am already preparing myself for some sort of email today saying they need something else. We do have a tentative closing date of March 13th, so that is exciting. We are just praying that everything will continue to move smoothly without any more snags. I look forward to the weekends because I know we will not have to deal with any issues during the weekend, so I look forward to not being so stressed out. Yesterday the kids were out of school because of the extreme cold and I welcomed the chance to sleep in yesterday. Jeremy had to go in yesterday, but he came home earlier than a normal day. After we got home we ventured out in the cold to visit our friends whose wife had her baby on Wednesday. I got to hold the little guy yesterday and it was wonderful :). Our new house is actually really close to where these friends live, so we are excited about seeing them more often. This morning I took the kids to school and then went to the grocery store. Jeremy has to go out of town again next week for principal meetings, so grocery shopping was pretty easy.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I will try to take some picture this week and maybe get a post in before another week goes by. Before I head off I would ask that you would pray for Chloe. She has fallen back into some of her shenanigans and having issues with telling us the truth. I don't know if it has to do with us moving or what, but I hate to see her fall back into that old behavior. I need to meet with her teacher some time next week to discuss some things that have been going on in the classroom.

So, my girls look so much alike from behind. I had several people guess wrong on who was who. I showed Jeremy and he said, "I know. Chloe is on the left." Samuel looked at the picture and said,"Chloe, your back is showing!" They were both wrong! Emma is the one on the left!
