Update

I know I am a bit behind in posting but things have been crazy. Also just to let you know I have to figure out some kinks in my blog because if a put more than one word in the title of the post it translates it into Japanese. Okay anyway Luke has been teething, he only has two bottom teeth that are not even all the way in but he started running a fever (low grade) and nothing other than being very crabby which is so unlike the happy-go-lucky baby he always is. The pediatrician said it was teething and not to worry unless his fever spiked. On top of that last Friday night Alexandra came home from Albany to pack up some stuff and on Saturday Michael and a friend and I moved her into her apartment. Jimi stayed home with the babies since Luke was not feeling happy and it was unbelievably bone chilling cold out. It took us so long to get it all done and I did not get home until almost 4 am in the morning. Ugh, glad that is done and she lives in a very historic apartment in the heart of downtown Albany that would easily pass for Brooklyn. We moved her in, then went to the mall where Michael had to get a hair cut and I bought accessories for Allie's apartment. Then we went out to eat and thought we had plenty of time to shop for essentials in Walmart but little did we know that the Walmarts in Albany are not 24 hour. So we got to this fantastic two story Walmart 15 minutes before closing and got most of what we needed and had to go to Hannerford for the rest. Alexandra tried to get me to spend the night saying it was too late, but I had to get back. There are three dogs of the owners that roam the lobby, two Westies and then I saw a black Scotty and that was my mom's favorite dog so I took it as a good sign.

On the Haitian front I have not heard much and have mailed a couple more Senators that are active in the Orphans Act. There was big news this week because a Baptist church group from the mid-west got arrested in Haiti for trying to move 33 Haitian children without documentation over to the Dominican Republic and now they are on trial for child trafficing even though they say they were not. I am so angry because that throws such a monkey wrench into everything and makes Haitian officials so skeptical of anyone trying to arrange an airlift or anything like that.

I had planned on going to Scranton tomorrow because I wanted to get props for the studio for Easter and Spring pics but we are expecting a storm tomorrow afternoon into Saturday. Ugh, we are not even expecting that much but enough to be dangerous driving. NJ is being hit harder than us for the second time this Winter. They are supposed to get 15"! Oh well, I guess it will give us some time to get some inside cleaning and projects done if we are not too lazy.

Oh well it is late and I better get into a shower and then to bed. God Bless us all!
