A full house

I have made mention to the 13 kids that are always around "loving" E. I decided I'd better comment on that one. We moved in with my parent's house with the intent of either finding an apartment soon after. After talking to my sister, we decided we should just look into buying a house. We turned applications for funding for a mortgage in July, and are still waiting on various things to find out if we qualify for a mortgage in which we will start looking to buy a house in the south end of the valley.

My sister came and visited from Omaha back in the end of July, mainly for her husband to take the Utah Bar Exam. He also had a job interview for the Cache County Attorney's office while they were here. He took the bar, interviewed for the job, then planned on taking off for Omaha again. THE DAY they were leaving (literally, they had the car packed and were just getting ready to leave) he got a call saying he got the job for the Attorney's office, and he would start the beginning of the month of August. They left for Omaha, packed, and came back all within a week. They, too, were trying to decide what to do for housing, so they moved into mom's house, too. By the way, he just found out he passed the bar exam, so they are going to be staying in Cache County for a while, so they are looking to buy a house, too!

So we have my sister and her 4 kids and us and our 5 kids all living in one place. Then I have a sister who lives 3 miles from my mom's house that has 3 kids that are down quite a bit (especially when we are canning), and I babysit my OTHER sister's 2 kids for a few hours each week. So there are 13 kids "loving" E here, making it 14 kids all together. We sure do have fun with each other, but it is a BIT crazy!!
