Knock, knock...Is this thing still on?

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated and that we don't have any new pics in this post. We've been busy busy since the New Year. First, we all got colds that seemed to linger for weeks. Then, we had a few good days before Eric and I were struck with stomach flu.  On top of that, work has been busy and we're just been trying to survive. But, I wanted to let friends and family know we're still alive.

I'll definitely try to post some new photos soon. Piper and Fletch are doing new things everyday (and getting into all new types of trouble). Their new obsession is reading. As soon as we come in the door, one or both of them is running to grab a book to give to Eric or me to read. It doesn't matter if our hands are full, if we've just come home from a busy day, or whatever, they want to be read to right NOW. Trying to put a book off is futile and will turn into a full blown tantrum. And, don't even think about skipping pages or just looking at pictures. Piper and Fletch are smart and know if they're missing something. While I'm so glad they are little bookworms, a girl can only read Moo, Baa, Laa and Hello Animals so many times a day!

Not much else to report. We're working on getting Piper and Fletch some help with talking because they've been a little behind. I'm sure this time next year, they'll be talking my ear off. We also started swim lessons last week, which were thankfully cancelled today because of the snow. I had no desire to wear a bathing suit this morning. I also am now nervous about the warning they gave us at our first lesson: if your child poops or throws up in the pool, they have to end the lessons, get everyone out of the pool, and shut it down for several hours. No pressure or anything to make sure your toddler, who has no control over any impulses or bodily functions, doesn't ruin the fun for all the other kids. No, no pressure at all....

Anyway, I know what folks like to see most is photos, so I'll end this post here and promise more pictures soon.
