finally, a post

Okay, it's been almost a month since I posted but we've all been sick for about that amount of time... I really can't wait until April. Not sure why but that just seems to be the goal: get to spring and out of this cold and flu season. I'm really just writing to say there are new pictures in the gallery - click the link to the right to see. These include the photos from my sister's surprise party.

Update on the boys:
ear infections, sinus infections, pink eye aside, they are just great! Caleb is finally accepting some of his rice cereal, and last weekend started rolling over. He is starting to sleep a bit better - usually just an hour or two off from what I'd consider sleeping through the night. He is laughing at us daily and I will do practically anything to hear that delightful sound!

Ian is such a joy when he is fed and rested and well. :-) We have made some big strides over the course of this sickness learning how to handle temper tantrums and Ian has made strides learning that whining will not be rewarded and that he can make his world much happier by using his big boy voice! We went out to dinner tonight and we just couldn't get over how well behaved he can be. He sat nicely in his seat, smiled at us, talked, and ate most of the food we got him. He says he wants to take swim lessons again this year, so I plan to enroll him and really look forward to spending that time with him.
