I'll try this again. I tried the other day and it wouldn't let me post.
The big news is that Kylie has accepted an Associate position with a Chiropractor in Beach so Cole and family will be moving to Dickinson in February. They bought a house in Dickinson (or rather will be signing the end of January). It is on the corner of Box Avenue and 9th Street for those of you familiar with Dickinson. Kylie will work three days a week so will be driving back and forth from Dickinson to Beach. But her parents live in Beach, so she may stay over one night. She works until 5 or 6 one day and gets off at 3 the other two days.
Cole is able to telecommute with the job he now has in Minneapolis. So they will set up a home office for him in a basement bedroom in their new house.
The house will need to be carpeted and painted as there was a smoker in the house. She hasn't lived there for 5 years, but smoke smell is still discernable. They are concerned about the kids breathing that in. (The Today Show just had a segment this week on how they are finding that 3rd hand smoke from carpets, drapes and furniture can be harmful to young children.) Les and I will do what we can in February. Les plans to take some time off from work and do a lot of the painting and remove carpeting. I will help when I can, but I start classes next Tuesday and anticipate a lot of homework again. It is a 4 credit class.
We also need to remove wallpaper from three or four rooms. Cole will come back a weekend or so to help. Some may need to wait until they are already moved in, we'll just see how it goes.
February will be a hoppin month!
Well that's my news. Hopefully this will post.

Wow - that is big news. Cole and Kylie are sure lucky to have you for parents! That is a lot of work! It sure will be nice for you to have them close again. Emerson and Josiah will be lucky too!
