With the help of two great helpers, Patti and Kellie, Sanguine is learning and gaining lots of control. She’s made it through our bad Flu no worse for the wear. She is sitting up in the high chair and grabbing things like crazy. Oh, and she is officially back on the breast full time. Now she occasionally gets a bottle of breastmilk too, but we are so happy she is strong enough to fully nurse on her own.

Happy Birthday Rainy Day

Rainy turns five and the little ones are going on six months. Torrent will turn three on the 24th. We just moved in to town. Our new address is 117 S Titus Ave., Ithaca, NY 14850.

The Girls

Thanks to Oma for coming up here to visit. We had such a great time. The bratwurst and kartofel salat, the chocolate cream pie, ah! We are still trying to get Sanguine and Dare used to not being held all the time. Oma you hung in there again, sleeping on the sofa bed, drinking our strong coffee and dealing with our good little Josie. Oma you are the best.

Monica

Monica has made a bold move. She is ready for a new phase. No more babies, she’s taking back her body (well except for nursing), reenergized for 2006. She’s now the hairless Monica, all pumped up and running. This is her first buzz.
