at all the familiar faces. It's been years, for many reasons, but I'm
glad to see so many of you still around. I can't promise I'll be
visiting more frequently, work and family already require more than 24
hours per day.

Suffice to say we are all doing well.

*hugs*

OK, I can see a bit more info is required by curious minds :-)

The twins are getting big! Talking back at me and eachother (shouting
matches...). DS is totally in love with them, there is very little
rivalry between him and the twins. The twins make up for it between the
two of them though.

I've been up to working very very hard, both DH and I work 4 days a
week. This means a crazy schedule of this daycare one day, that daycare
the other day, pre-school on some mornings, and elementary school for
DS. The kids still enjoy all of this thoroughly, it's the parents that
have chronic jet-lag.

TG is having a bout of flu with risk for pneumonia ATM. She has a spray
and antibiotics, and seems to be slowly recovering. Having sick kids at
home forced me to stay home last week and take care of them by sitting
in the sun in our back yard and reading a book. Tough job ;-) In general
though, we are all doing well.

That's it for the moment, I need to rush to catch my train back home.
I'm up for my bi-annual facial tonight (aaah, relaxation). I'll promise
to at least try and show my face here a bit more often. I still cherish
very fond memories of many people I met here.

Sounds amazing all the way around, except for the sick kidlets. This years
blech has been decidely a pain in the butt. I would have been quite happy to
skip all the bouts with the blech this year if given the opportunity.

It sounds like the twins are growing up way to fast. OMG. It's hard to
believe that DS is 5 and a half and is getting along with the littles. Mine
go through stages of liking each other and despising each other. It's funny,
for them they seem to be one extreme or the other. Ah I guess that's just
the way it is.

Glad to see you back and around, and to hear your update. Hope you enjoyed
your "week" of concentrated care of the kidlets. I hope your tan is even and
you finished your book.

Wow! Hi Ilse! glad to hear every one is well (despite the flu). I
can't believe the twins are 2.5. My ds is now 7.5 and dd is now 3.5!
How did that happen! Hope to hear more from you.
