Delays

Believe it or not, we still do not have our house on the market. We have had delay after delay with our current contractor. We are waiting for them to come back and replace one window an trim out two other windows. It should take them about an hour to complete this job, but it has been 2 1/2 weeks since we found out they would have to come back and 1 1/2 week since our new window came in. Still no one. They were supposed to come out Saturday and I even called Thursday to confirm, but apparently there was a "miscommunication" and no one showed up. I was so upset Saturday (there was major crying and chocolate eating going on that day). Right now they are saying Wednesday or Thursday. I've rescheduled our realtor to come out Wednesday night. The one thing that is pretty interesting about this whole situation is that my mom's birthday is Thursday. During this whole process I thought something big might happen on her birthday as a sign we should move to Lee's Summit (I was hoping we would sell our house that day). My mother would have been overjoyed at our move. Well, if our realtor comes out Wednesday (and God willing the window contractor as well), our house may be officially for sale on Thursday. That would be pretty exciting. I just need to take all of this in stride, but it has been hard. The last couple of months were pretty tough to get through. It didn't help that winter dragged on longer than usual during the same time we were working so hard on our house. I just hope it all works out in the end.

Tonight we will be watching and cheering on the KU Jayhawks! I was so happy they played well and won on Saturday. That was really the only thing that went well that day. I've been coaching Dylan to say "Rock Chalk Jayhawks! Go KU!" Everything sounds extra cute when he says it.

I took the kids to Deanna Rose last week and they got to feed the goats and fish. Alana could have spent all afternoon feeding the goats, but the boys got bored and wanted to move on. It was funny to remember how scared she was last summer. It helps that she has fearless brothers and she always wants to do what they are doing. The kids keep talking about going back to Disney and riding roller coasters. We are wanting to wait until Dylan hits 40" so he can ride a few of the bigger roller coasters and rides. He's only 35" right now though (5% for his age), so we may not be able to wait for our pint-sized three year old to grow. Who knows though -- maybe he'll have a major growth spurt this year!
