Update on Us

Well, thinks are starting to get better around here, but someday's it is one step forward 2 steps backward. Last Thursday, I went back to work and was starting to feel better. Well, that night Robbie woke up sick, he got a stomach bug, a 2 ender and by Saturday I had it too. Thank God Karen did not get it, something to be said for her stomach of steel. Well, Robbie and I seem to have recovered from it and are back to going about our business again. All in all it has been a hard winter, but we are so much fortunate than others who have had it much harder.
We, are starting to get ready for our April Move. Karen is packing boxes. And we are starting to get rid of stuff, some of it being Robbies baby stuff. It is amazing how fast they grow out of that stuff. We have decided we will keep a few special things and sell the rest, because we are pretty sure we won't be having others. After being sick all winter, I just want to get healthy and enjoy the wonderful family I have, not add to it and maybe give myself more health problems. We are also deciding if we are going to take the apartment beside Mom. It is a little small, but it is in our price range and we can bring the pets.
Robbie is growing by leaps and bounds and saying words and phrases we never taught him. He is an amazing littel sponge. He knows most of his letters, numbers, and colours now. And has words for most objects. He also loves to hide things on us all the time. Every find a sippy cup full of milk that is 2 days old? Yuck is the only word to describe it.
On a side note. Do you ever wonder who all these people are who are bringing suitcases on wheels to work? It is very popular at the university I work at. I mean do you have so much work to take home, that a shoulder bag will not handle it? In protest I bring only a purse to work.
