Another Random Update
Well, we were away for a week attending the ED seminar which was full of great material. The schedule was a bit hectic, especially when dragging 2 kiddos and stuff back and forth through long hallways. The schedule was a bit tight as well..we had to wake the kids up in the morning and from nap extra early to make it for breakfast and the afternoon meetings. I didn't know the kids could survive on such little sleep. Poor Kristy suffered for it though, she is so miserably sick right now. Kate had a ton of fun though, soo excited to to see "friends" and especially baby "Nona". Though she's been a bit insecure since being back, a lot fussier in general and always crying for"mamma".
Nyways, I'm determined to potty train her before the next baby is born...I have no idea what I am doing. I've never potty trained a kid before, or even helped my mom potty train any of my brothers and sisters for that matter. Any revelations or input on potty training is appreciated.
My mummy is visiting Japan from Mexico which has been fun. She hasn't been around long enough to nag me about stuff too much, so that's a big plus (haha). She'll be back here in a few days and stay till she leaves Japan.
...And then Joanie's moving here on the 7th of April, so we've got lots of work for her to do over here (heyyy Joan, wanna change a poopy diaper?) .
Oh yeah! and my other sister had her birthday on the 3rd! Well happy happy birthday Ang. Sorry so late! Oh well, you got to meet Mamma and Peter and had a crazy vacation at some ritzy hotel and everything, so I figure you're pretty happy bout that. Gosh..20...weird. Well love you, and come visit Joan and I sometime and we can have a happy happy reunion.
And here's some pics from here and there. Some are from the ED seminar, though we didn't take too many there..if anyone has pics of us from the seminar, pls send em..thanks!!

I agree Joanie, I was guessing "I don't know what I'm doing" is a prelude to "Hey Joanie, here's something for you to do!" :P
You look great as usual Mary. Come around here sometime, I WILL FEED YOU!!

Your kids look identical a lot of the time, but of course the mother sees all the differences, unlike others!
And the hat, well, it looks good on both men, there!
