apology

so sorry it has taken so long to get around to updating this. life has been busy and a little more stressful than usual so we are using as much time as possible sleeping.

declan is crawling, trying to walk, and getting two teeth at the same time. he is also giving kisses when he is in the mood and working on high fives. his brother is his favorite play thing. i am not sure, but i feel that he may be maxing out his gumpy alottment in one full swoosh. i am trying everything to make him happy right now, and i thinking of using the old fashioned alcohol on his gums. i don't blame him for being so grumpy, but we need some sleep.

finn is cool and helpful. he favorite subject at school is electives. right now he is in legos and storytime. he used to have super science and word games and puzzles. his reading is going through the roof. i am amazed at all of the stuff he can read. commercials are confusing, because why would you sell something to someone that was not helpful. long discussions ensue after we watch tv. he is the question man.

marc and i are doing well. we are both busy with work and thinking about the next venture on the house. if anyone is interested, the house next door will be up for sale next month. it is four bedrooms with one bath, and of course the biggest perk is living next to us! i mean, there is also some other cool stuff too, as well as another set of super cool neighbors across the street who throw really good grown up parties.

i wanted to post this picture of declan and his uncle from christmas, i know it is aged, but it is my favorite picture from the day.
i promise to do better to update this more often for those of you who actually check. i know we have really dropped the ball. (mom, this line was for you.)
