Next month.
No, really. I'm not joking.
Can't stop to blog. . . I've got packing to do. But stay tuned. This blog should get pretty interesting in a couple of months.

Funny Things My Kids Say
(Finally- one from Emily)
There was quite the discussion on what we could have for treats during Family Home Evening- ice-cream shakes or chocolate cows. Emily came up with the solution. She told Tyler, "You can have a shake, and I can have a cow!"
Lucy just walked in with one of her stuffed dogs. She says his name is "Doggy Doo."
At scriptures tonight, Randy was actually participating. I was starting to see the tell-tale signs we were losing him. In an effort to engage him in what we were reading, we had the following discussion.
Me: (referring to Matt. 11:5) Randy, what does "deaf" mean?
Randy: (stuttering and stammering) Uh, not able to hear.
Me: What does "blind" mean?
Randy: Not able to see.
Me: And what does "lame" mean?
Randy: (no hesitation) Not able to be funny.
Bullet chewed up one of Lucy's toys- something from a Happy Meal that she never played with. Later, I found her sitting on the couch, cuddled in a blanket, still weeping. "Do you know why I brought my blanket downstairs?" she asked. "To catch my sadness," she said, as she wiped her face.
At church, our primary was practicing for their Sacrament Meeting. At one point, Randy sneezed and stood up for a Kleenex. As he was blowing his nose, he leaned over to our first counselor and whispered something in her ear. She started to laugh and then mouthed to me, "I'll tell you after." She told me that Randy had said, "There's too much singing. I think I'm allergic to music."
"LUCY! Don't change it to chimpanzee!" ~Randy, chastising his sister for changing the language setting on his Nintendo DS to Japanese.
It's that dreaded time of the year again- fundraiser time. This year it's frozen cookie dough. Therefore, Cookie Monster is making appearances at the school. He was greeting kids as we dropped them off this morning. Lucy was so excited to say hi and that Cookie acknowledged her with a special wave. As we were driving away, Lucy looked back, sighed and said, "Wow, I've never seen Cookie Monster in the wild."

Okay, honestly my first thought was, "Are they crazy?" Then I clicked on your link to info about Singapore. The shopping complexes caught my eye and then after doing more research into the "shopping paradise", all I can say is, "When can I come for a visit?" :) It looks amazing and I'm so excited for you guys. What an adventure!! (And seriously, when can I come shopping?)
Wow. So I am very curious now. Sounds exciting! I love you and wish you the best!
That is thrilling. What an exciting adventure for your family!
Wow! I am thankful that we have the internet super highway to be able to keep in touch while you are miles and miles away. I know that it probably wasn't the easiest decision to make, but who can argue with prayer and the answers that come from it. I will miss you. Can't wait to get more details in the next couple of months. Love you!
I'm still so in shock! How exciting! Dave said, "Well, it's a good thing we went to Katy this year!"
