so much for that...

i had a secret new year's resolution to blog more, but i think we can all see how that turned out. luckily, my other resolutions are going swimmingly.

2009 is so far going extremely well. we've got lots of activities and fun stuff lined up for the rest of the winter, which will hopefully make it go a lot faster than last winter did. i believe last winter ended in june sometime. we're putting together the details for our little family getaway to the dells in a couple of weeks...we're really looking forward to taking the kids to an indoor waterpark and watching abby's brain explode.

i finally lost my patience with our jerry-rigged childproofing system of just putting stuff in front of the hallway and our bedroom, since ian can move that stuff now. so, i bought 2 gates off amazon that ought to be here any moment now. i'll install them (hopefully) tonight and tomorrow will be a new day. abby also goes back to school tomorrow. both she and i are WAY ready for that. she's actually been on break a week longer than the rest of the kids because she was out sick the week before break, so it's been 3 weeks for her.

ian's walking skills have improved exponentially, and he's getting pretty fast. although sometimes his top half gets going a little faster than his little legs can handle, and then we have a face-plant. he's a tough little guy, though, and just gets back up and keeps going.
