Johnson Jungle

Ok, so everyone is asking "when are you guys gonna move?"...we're gonna start thinking everyone wants us to leave! (hahaha). Anyway, our house is closing on July 14th. Where are we gonna live you might ask? We are going to stay for hopefully not more than 3 and a half months in a basement apartment of our nephew's wife dads house (sound redneck?). It lacks a few necessities (like a microwave, air conditioner, washer/dryer hook ups), but in all other ways we feel blessed to have someone rent to us without a 6 month lease. Our land sales contract has been extended to close on July25th. We were a little disappointed, but we're still grateful that they still wanted it. Our land closing depends upon 2 houses being sold...It goes like this... The Tolman's buying our land are selling their house to the Berry's who are selling their house to a family. The Berry's are closing on their house and buying the Tolman's and the Tolman's are buying our land supposedly all on July 25th. Sound non-reassuring? Well, we're keeping our fingers crossed. As far as the house being built...well, we've never been happier to say that we have dug ourselves a hole...literally. Actually, they have already put a basement in that hole and started to frame on top of the basement. We anticipate being able to move in on November 1st....we're keeping our fingers crossed on that as well. Bella is doing good...still sounds a little junky in her trunky, but no wheezing or retracting. Peyton is passed the ear infection and moved onto thrush from the antibiotics. Phoenix has a fever last night and tonight and was asking to eat tacos in his sleep. He's doing pretty well in the potty training business. Carson is healthy (Alleluia!) but he has to be reassured that every toy that is put in a box is going to eventually come out again, but we have to pack it in order to be able to keep it. He keeps saying "but Mom, I wanted to keep that one..." So we go through the whole thing again...he's so dang cute!
