It is 2 days before Xmas and our house is overloaded with Xmas gifts!! SO many gifts, mostly for the 2 babies. I will have to take a picture to show them how many they had because they won't remember this Christmas. They are too young. We have my Mum and Sister here and my brother in law and sister and law are coming on New Year's day. It is that time of year for family to visit. Although the house is cramped with bodies it is a warm feeling that only family can give you. We have had some fabulous weather recently and it was nice enough for Mum and I to go parasailing! I would never have gone had it not been for the prodding of Mum. From 800 feet above the water I saw a school of rays, that was AWESOME! Sean is LOVING all the additional attention he is getting and Kate is completely smitten with her Aunt. Whenever Laura walks into the room, Kate watches her like a hawk. I mean I know Laura is beautiful and all but why Kate is so focused on her I don't know? Perhaps she sees herself in Laura?
We are buying Sean a twin size mattress for Xmas, he is moving to a big boy bed, and Kate will move from her bassinet to a crib.
Today will be my last day of work for 13 days! Let the vacation begin! Well let it begina t 5 since it is only 9:38am right now...oh well. :)

Sorry for the delay...
Man how time flies! We went to Wilmington the day after Thanksgiving for time with the family. Mike's parents and sister got to meet Kate for the first time. We caught up with friends we hadn't seen in 10 years and the kids charmed everyone. Mike and I even escaped for some long walks through lovely neighborhoods.
Now that December is upon us and people in the rest of the US are putting up with cold temps and snow, we have highs in the low 80's and the weather is gorgeous. Mum flew in for Xmas and my sister is on her way too. Sean is starting preschool in Jan. and Kate is rolling over. I can't beleive how quickly they are growing. Each day I look at Sean and at 19 months he looks more and more like a little boy every day and less like a baby. He is walking like a pro and refining his fine motor skills. He has quite the vocabulary now and understands so much! Kate is 14 pounds now, beautiful little curls on top of her head and she smiling A LOT. She watched Sean like a hawk, he is always a good source of entertainment. She is finally sleeping through the night and is starting to eat solid food. She is not a fan of the rice cereal, but she likes the bananas. She "talks" constantly. The house is always busy and never quite.
I have a lovely little routine on the days I am home, I get up early go for a run and stop off at the starbucks near my house then I walk back and get the kids up for breakfast. We play for a few hours, then Sean goes down for a nap and when he gets up we walk to the post office, no mail delivery on the island, you have to have a PO Box. If the weather is nice we walk to the beach. Sean likes to collect sea shells, but is not a fan of getting sand on his hands.
Anyway emough rambling I will include a pic of us
