We have really been dropping the ball on our blog, haven't we. Drew was one of our best contributors but I think he's turned to facebook and I have a hard time using that. Everybody tells me they read this and that about Drew on his facebook but when I pull it up I don't see anything new so I guess I'm just not clicking the right buttons.

well, the other problem is my time at the computor is very, very limited. It seems these babies have a way of demanding all our time---Mandy and mine and sometimes even Doug gets involved. He has become pretty good at changing those diapers and tries to relieve me of much of the lifting and carrying which is hard on my back. They do make us laugh, however. The only thing funnier than a 15 month old are two 15 month olds together. And Clay and Claire keep us busy just helping them be constructive in their business, and not destructive. They are very busy little people.

Mandy is spending a "romantic" get away this Valentine's weekend with her honey. Claire and Clay are at their Aunt Lea's and Doug and I are chasing the babies around. Now that they are both walking, keeping track of them is like herding cats---especially when I have both of them in Relief Society. Happy Day when they are old enough to go into the nursery with Claire and Clay.
We are happy to have Dave and Kallie here with us for Valentines' Weekend but that means Sandy does not have them. Sorry Sandy. We hope you had a happy birthday. I know I didn't get you card sent off in time, and judging from the Christmas packages you may not get it for awhile yet.

Have you noticed how many birthdays we have in February now? It is rivaling August.

I'm sorry you haven't gotten your Christmas Personal History pages yet. I was waiting for Drew but have given up on that. We know he loves his family and he knows how much we love him so we'll have to just cherish that thought. Love you, Drew.
