Alrighty-then!

So, finally I am updating this sucker! So many of you will be so happy! We have been to Tahoe for a weekend and Sonoma to Train Town and dealt with A LOT of vomit (due to colds/virus' that just WOULDN'T GO AWAY) in the car! Both boys enjoyed the snow and spending time with their cousins from Md. They couldn't call their cousin, Amber, "Amber" so they kept on saying "'Amburger-Burger." He hehe, that was really cute and funny. Most of my sisters and their men were up in the snow as well. It was a great trip!
The boys are doing well with school and various kid classes. Matthew is loving MyGym with his little buddy, Ninka. He climbs all over the structures and the walls. It's great! He is good at listening to the directions most of the time and he is learning to balance on his own. He is a saucy little fellow though....he will tell you what you need to do and when you need to do it. Like, "Dad (notice no longer daddy), come here! Now!" Or "Don't do that Thomas!" or his most common comment to me..."I don't wike it mama!" As you can see neither one of my boys can say the letter "L." Matthew has made MANY pieces of art at Purple Crayon. His most recent, a mermaid, is now permanently nailed into the wall. It turned out well.



Thomas is enjoying school and making lots of friends now. He still hangs with his playgroup buddies, Marcus and Nathan, but he has made connections with his Parker friends as well. He is still dancing with Teacher Burne and now he has just started Soccer with his school friends as well. He is quite good at dribbling the ball. Once Godmama Mel's cracked ribs have healed (from a snowboarding accident) she can teach him a few tricks. That was her sport back in the day... Thomas is pretty much toilet trained. He now just has accidents. Actual accidents from not getting to the toilet fast enough. Not choosing to pee or poop in his pants. It is nice. Now it seems like it is Matthew's turn since he tries to remove his diaper whenever he can! Ughhh. I don't know if I am ready yet! hehehehe...


As for me, I am now training with Scott to jog/run The Bay to Breakers. We have gotten up to 4.5 miles. It's pretty nice! He pushes our jogging stroller while I run next to him. The stroller handicaps him a bit, but not much! Scott is training for his next Triathlon in May up in Napa. Too bad you won't be here Cecie! The stroller has been a great addition to all our "stuff" so far. I used my regular small wheeled stroller for a long time with the boys and now we all get to have a better time out. The seats are sweet. There are shocks on the stroller and it runs smoothly! ahhh. No one gets thrown out when I hit a crack in the road or the sidewalk! Nice...
Scott was promoted at Kaiser recently. So that is really nice for him to be recognized for all his hard work. He is still absolutely beautiful and funny. So that is great for me! We are looking forward to our four-day weekend in New Orleans for Kiely's graduation from Loyola. All the Schork/Krug siblings and "significant others" will be there along with aunts and uncles. It will be huge. So I am really looking forward to that.

Announcements!
Matthew turns two tomorrow! Time had flown by! I will post photos of that day, the cake and then the wiggles concert sometime next week!
