Well, I haven't updated a thing in a long time! We have been back to Kansas since August 12th. We had a great time home on leave, and it was sad to leave but once home I think we are all very excited to be here. Since coming home, Elijah has been sleeping through the night. Every now and again he wakes up but its about 2 minutes of talking to himself and he is back to sleep! August 7th he got his first tooth, and on the 12th he popped through his second one. He has been taking assisted steps for awhile, but yesterday he actually attempted to crawl. He made it about 3 crawls (I don't exactly know how to describe it, but like steps only crawling) and gave up. He refuses to do it again though. Not sure why, and I am not entirely convinced he actually WANTED to crawl but didn't do it out of desperation.

After getting home, The neighborhood office for McClellan (Were we live now) called and said they were getting near our name on the list and that before we could be offered a home we would need to do a walk through or as she called it a "Pre, Pre-Inspection". We had to pass 100% or pay damages before they would give us a move date/home. Needless to say I was worked up and a little nervous. I scrubbed like a mad women, then discovered they do a black light inspection of carpets! YIKES. Everything I had read on the internet said carpet cleaning solutions would not get the stains out. However I did find that vinegar does, so I used lots of that. We passed 100%, and as of now owe nothing. There is a chance that once all the furniture is out of here that we may owe. We shall see I guess. Fingers crossed!! So we now have a move date (Sept. 17th we sign for keys and Sept. 18th we will move). We have an address also, but I wont be posting that here. If you would like it, please let us know!

Other than this, We have allot of busy coming up before Nate deploys. Hardly much time to even breathe but hey, that is life. We have Dr. appointments, Elijah's surgery, the move and hopefully my ultrasound to cram into a few weeks time. Wish us luck! We will need it.

We saw my Dr. yesterday, and he said everything is looking good. Sent me for some routine blood work (Will have to go Monday) and put in a few prescriptions. I will also be schedualing the ultra sound but I don't think I will share the day of that, just tell people if we are able to find the gender. Last time everyone was so eager to know, and it was disappointing to have to call everyone and say "We don't know, Legs were crossed". So we more than likely will not share the date, but if we can find out we will call everyone the day of and say "It's A......". If Nate isn't home, I wont say a word until he knows anyway. It isn't fair for everyone to know before him. He will be the first to hear other than myself.

Nate's car is down, so we are back to only 1 car for a bit. We found someone who will fix it though, so I am not worried. Just waiting on payday to get the part. We have to get it fixed since it's sitting at Nate's work and we can't leave it there forever. Plus we will need to get it to our new home anyway.

I think that is about all as far as updates, Just waiting not so patiently on the move!
