Almost there!

We are almost done with the house! Our closing date is set for the 22nd, but we can start moving in before that. This next week everything should be getting wrapped up including finishing electrical and plumbing, and installation of carpet. We can't wait!

Olivia is almost crawling! Grandma Sticha gives it one more week. She has gotten to the point of sticking her butt up in the air, but manages to push herself backwards instead.

Unfortunately school is almost here too. I am just so happy the house will be done, even if it is just days before workshops begin. Even though work will start back up with no time for a break from house building, at least we will have our weekends back and we can do some of the fun things we missed out on so far this summer.

In other news, last Saturday my sister Katelyn and dad Dave pulled in the National Tug-o-War championships in Prior Lake. They both walked away with several medals, including one gold each! We are very proud of them! Olivia was kind enough to give her aunty a foot massage when she was done pulling.
