Kate is 7 months old!

Kate is 7 months old, and time has truly flown by.  I thought it would be fun to put up everyone's 7 month shot to see how the kids compare to each other at this age.   At least I thought that would be fun, until I started to try and hunt down everyone's 7 month photo.  Ellie's is in her album, but she is the only one.  Plus scanning it in sounds like a lot of work.   Lily's photo I KNOW is in the abyss of the 2004 photo box.  Of course since it was taken in November it could quite easily be stuck in the 2005 box.  Thomas was our first "digital" baby so all of his photos should be tucked safely in iPhoto. As a matter of fact he even has a "Thomas monthly" folder. When I looked inside there were all of his pictures....all of them except his 7 month photo.  It may be gone forever.  And as for Kate's....hers is still stuck in the camera with the Valentine photos. Hmmmmm, not so fun at all!  

Typing with a baby in my lap

I really want to get this up and running, so I am typing with a baby in my lap (perhaps typing with one finger will make me less long winded). 

This is actually the story of how I live my life, typing with a baby in my lap, or someone hanging on my arm or leg.  If nothing else there is a 4 or 6 year old who has noticed that I am on the computer that just HAS to play Webkinz.  

Ellie is getting over a bout of strep, another in a long line of illnesses  we have endured during this very unhealthy winter.  The fact that she missed her 1st grade Valentine party was quite a big deal and we had a very depressing day yesterday.  Today things have turned around and she bounced in the door, Valentines in hand, with many great stories of  the wonderful time she had in school. What a difference a day makes!  Lily Bug totally enjoyed her first V-day party at school yesterday and both girls have been great about sharing their loot with their brother who longs for his own school and teacher.  Baby Kate has managed to get her hands on a few of the Valentine cards....she has a strange love for chewing paper.  We better keep an eye on that!

I would love to put up the Valentine photos that I have taken of the kids, but of course they are still in the camera....whose batteries have died.....and I can't find the charger.....and all of our AA batteries are in the Leapsters....so maybe by Easter I will have them up!
