Its been a while and we have been busy. We had Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and a New Year. Its been busy and full of fun. Patrick and Liam are now playing basketball and in both of their first games they scored. We were pumped-They are learning their ball handling skills pretty well and seem to be having fun. Patrick takes the game alittle more seriously and Liam does alot of bouncing around. He has alot of energy. Ben has been reading better and better each week. He is now reading real books on his own. He actually has more energy then Liam. Its like he is a jellybean flea if that is something. Irelands skills in the kitchen have improved. She is getting more and more comfortable making desserts. I guess one day I will have to break down and teach her how to make some other real dinners. Shea is Shea. She is just growing and doing the 2 year old thing. We love watching her learn how to talk and to express her self. We have also noticed that she is still pretty bossy. Can you blame her-she has to hold her own in a family of 4 other siblings. Sean is busy fixing computers as a side job-he is just doing that dad thing. Me? Same as before. Doing the mom thing. Dishes never go away and neither does the dust.

We are getting ready to celebrate Irelands birthday and I think that she wants a Lizard cake! That will be a fun one to make. But will post pictures soon. All is well in the Rawlinson household......
