Life is racing by!
Can't believe it is April already, where does the time go? Kate has two teeth on the bottom and Sean is putting together little sentences. We have had a ton a visitors over the last 2 months. My Mum, Mike's parents, his brother and sister in law and her parents and their two boys, his sister, old friends we haven't seen in 4 years, etc, etc. We have been going to all kinds of parties on the island, had friends over for dinners and I started a book club so my girlfriends and I could get together talk about books and drink wine! Sean is loving preschool, he now goes 5 days a week, and will break in early June. Both of the kids do something new and fabulous everyday, I keep telling myself I will write in their journals more often (it was one of my new years resolutions) but I am almost as bad at that as trying to keep up with this blog. Time simply runs faster than I can keep up with it. You would think living on an island I would slow down and relax, believe me I would like to, but it just doesn't seem to be working out that way for me. :)

Feb. already??
Where does the time go? oh yeah, it runs away with diaper changes, and drooly smiles, new teeth, demolition derby toy crashes and new bumps on the head. Ah the life of little babies.
Kate is going on month 7 and right on track, she is trying to push herself up when she is on her stomach and rolls over too. She is most smiley after a good nap or first thing in the morning. Sean says new words daily, yesterday it was cheek, as he pinches his own cheeks and twists them. The day before that it was Please, and the day before that it was Shark. He is a learning sponge, and we are learning it is vital to watch what we say around him. He is getting his canines now and has discovered that standing up on the couch gets a panicked response from Mummy and Daddy. He loves preschool, where they are learning letters, colours and shapes.
Mike and I try to make time for each other, but it usually involves the kids. I am not comfortable leaving them with people yet. So we all walk down to the pub and sit outside and watch the sun set. You can see it too, at www.muckyduck.com. They have a webcam, check it around sunset and you may see the four of us out there....

Happy New Year
Hi all,
Big news! Sean has moved from a crib to a twin size mattress! It did not go over well at all at first, but he has adjusted quickly. He even put himself down for a 10 minute nap today all by himself. After Mum and Laura left on the 27th we had a 5 day rest period and then Mike's brother Steve and sister Katherine and her boyfriend Kyle fly in for a long weekend. They attended the Orange Bowl in Miami and saw the Hokies WIN!!! They have gone fishing, sunbathing, parasailing and even made a batch of beer.
Sean starts preschool next Monday, it was supposed to be today but it got pushed back a week. I am still super nervous about dropping him off on his first day, he is only 19 months old, but I know the socialization will be really good for him and I could really use that time to run errands with Kate. Speaking of Kate, she is rolling over, eating solid foods and smiling all the time! I think she will be crawling in no time. She is very strong and does tummy crunches to try to sit up when she is on her back. I will try to uploand pics for all to see real soon!
