sorry, I have been AWOL from this thread for a little while. Just thought I would give a bit of personal update, I will try to come back and make comments about others instead of just me latter .

Corban is pulling himself up just fine, getting very good at it in fact. He has now started to help himself move along items that he has pulled himself up on so perhaps he is not that far from trying to take his first real steps. Still not much of a solids eater although we are slowly pushing more solids his way. Still no "dada" but I do seem to be able to put him to sleep when Heidi is unable to. Sometimes we sit down on the couch and watch some TV together.

We are also having to try and move while I also am trying to finish school and based on the timing that now means that with about 1 month of school left I am also trying to find a part time job to cover rent. The kids are having a hard time with the fact they are probably going to move away from friends and on top all that there is a mounting possibility of not keeping their cats or one cat.

So that about sums it up in my house. i will try to get back and read the other messages.....try and make some personals.
