Greetings, dear readers. Apologies for the lack of action once again...quick updates for now:
*chicken pox came and left rather uneventfully. C and L have had problems with picking, leaving scars and wounds...I'm giving them all Vitamin E orally and topically, hoping to minimize the longevity of said scars.
*we traveled to San Diego - me in a minivan with four kids for over six hours...and you know what? They were all fantastic! I moved seats around and ended up with E and O in the way back, C and L in the middle. E was incredible keeping the baby happy and fed...I loved watching her rise to the challenge and simply shine! D flew over on Friday night and we came home Monday.
*my mom took us to Legoland - it was PERFECT for my crew! We also had passes from a local friend and D and I took the kids to SeaLand...again, spent a lovely day - how can a sunny day in San Diego be bad?
*OP is crawling - not just army style anymore - eating everything he can, and having a "must be held" stage...good thing I have that tiny little babywearing collection (ha!).
*D and I got our passport applications submitted - the first step towards India!
*L is the most amazingly agile little kid...and a bit of a daredevil too. I will not be surprised if we end up with some ER trips with this one...
*E and C continue to love school; C's reading has not slowed, E is getting quite good herself. C has chess once a week after school, and it's really fun to see how excited she is about it.
*Our garage door died...one was DOA when we moved here, and we'd limped along with the other...they were the cheap-o aluminum, non-insulated hand-opening kind. Even the operational door was barely so - the hardware was long missing/broken, but doors weren't really high on our list. However, when the springs busted, leaving a guillotine that only D could actually lift to open, it was time to bit the bullet. We had both replaced, and couldn't be happier! I even have the little magic button in my car now, so I pull up to the house, and voila! Open door.
That's about it. Again, I sign off with promises to be better.

Great family update and those are indeed gorgeous doors.
I'm terribly sorry we missed you here. As you know we got home from our own trip mid week and then we just had some very busy days through Sunday, when we decided to flop and rest. I was sick about missing you both on our pass back through Phoenix (b/c you were here) and then here b/c we couldn't get our act together...next time. I hope you'll forgive our flakiness.
So excited for you about India!
Nice to hear from you again! soooo, how big is your "little" babywearing collection now???
D- no problem! I know how life goes :)
R - um...I'm down to 3 wraps (plus one loaned out), 4 ring slings, 2 pouches (which I actually never use), 2 SSCs and 2 mei tais! We won't talk about the custom SSC I'm waiting for...and actually, one RS belongs to a friend, and one is Halloween fabric. Not too bad, right??
I love your updates.
Did I ever send you an invite to my blog after I went private with it?
