Well the title says it all. I am really bad at blogging. I knew even before I started this blog that I would have a hard time keeping up with it so I am going to try harder. Here is the family update. January was pretty uneventful. February started out with a trip to Seattle to visit my sister Kathleen and her family. It was so much fun and we really needed the vacation. We got to go to the Pacific Science Museum, the Naval Museum, IKEA, and a bakery that had the best donut I have ever tasted(It was shaped as a gingerbread man with maple frosting and chocolate buttons.) It was nice to visit with Kathleen and Chris and they even watched our kids so we could go on a date. Thank You!
On Friday, February 13th Will had his 5th birthday. He was so excited to turn 5. We had a family party and Will and Isabelle decorated his cake. Will comes up to me every few days and tells me he wishes he could have a birthday everyday. He is all ready looking forward to turning 6. Will and Isabelle have started a new game called spies. They have been playing this for about a month now and they like to tote "Spy Kate" around with them. Everyone in the family is a spy except me, I am the "Teacher". I don't mind though because I can give them missions like "clean Isabelle's room" and "get me a drink of water" it has been fun.
Kate is almost 10 months old now and has been crawling around for about a month. She is really getting fast and loves to follow everyone around. She is also really good at entertaining herself and likes to smile and imitate us. If we blow in her face she tries to blow back and if we click our tongue she clicks back. She will even give kisses but they are always open mouth with her tongue hanging out. Drew and I are doing well. He has been working on his next book
Tally Cat and I'm trying to recover from the flu. I have been in bed since Wednesday. I guess I should have gotten the flu shot. I have never been this sick before. I think it was worse than all three pregnancies combined. But I am getting better and can't wait for this weekend. My friends and I will be going up to Drew's family cabin to have a girls weekend. No husbands, No kids (well except for nursing babies of course) and No responsibilities. Whoo hoo! I will definitely post pictures of the fun.

Yay! you posted again!
That doughnut sounds really yummy. There's nothing like a great doughnut!! I can't remember the last time I had a great pastry:(
Sounds like things are going good with you guys except for that nasty bug you caught. If you need anything just give me a ring, if not I'll see you this weekend!!! YAY:)
Anna wants to know what game Will & Isabelle & Kate are playing. She made me zoom in on the pic...kids are so funny.:) I almost went to that bakery on Saturday to get that donut, maybe when you get pregnant next time I'll buy a dozen and overnight them to you!
Have fun at the girls getaway...so fun!
OK, let me just say that I LOVE the spy idea...now to get Chris and Seth in on it... ;)Also, WAY jealous you went to IKEA (but I'll get over it) and thanks for giving me the uncontrollable craving for your amazing donut. That I don't think I'll get over anytime soon...
I hope you've been able to get plenty of rest so you'll be able to enjoy the weekend retreat!
Marie-tard! I miss you guys so much. Thomas has a family reunion in July that we might go to, so we might get to see you in a few months!
Happy late birthday to Will and happy early birthday to you (I"ve already filed my taxes)!
It sounds like you are all doing well. Steal Mom's cell phone and give me a call sometime, I'd love to hear from you guys and it's a free call since Mom and Dad let me stay on their phone plan for now.
Love ya! Say "hi" to Drew for me!
