Hello friends in blogland. We've meant to post pics from our Florida trip and just update our blog in general, but we have had our hands full this week with chasing the toddler, working, and preparing everything for our big move tomorrow (i.e. repacking boxes over and over after Abbie keeps herself occupied unpacking them!) ...so this is us signing off of our precious internet access (who knows when the phone company will come out to give us a line?!!) Hopefully it will be sometime early next week. Until then, we can be reached via cell phone. It should be an interesting experience, this moving business...we'll see how it all goes - it's supposed to rain and storm...and last we checked (this evening at 5pm) the nice little old lady had REALLY, and I mean really, not finished moving her things out at all...should be funny, to say the least! But we are excited - so our excitement will help keep the whole experience pleasant (dishwasher and indoor parking here we come!) :-)
Later,
Katie, Alex, Abbie and #2 (who is kicking up a storm in Mama's tummy right now, and whose gender shall be revealed next Wednesday!)

long overdue update
Well, everyday lately our baby girl seems to do something that makes us burst out laughing and I've captured a couple of pictures that I've been meaning to blog for two weeks now...somebody has figured out that the computer has buttons that are fun for pushing so while we are learning that buttons on Mama and Daddy's expensive computer are not for babies to push, it's hard to sneak time to blog :-)
Abbie practicing how the stork is going to bring Baby Brother or Baby Sister...apparently she believes babies now come with Palm Pilots? Did Daddy give her that idea? Is this supposed to be a hint to Mama? :-)
So I'm not entirely proud of this, but a friend (practiced mother of two children) introduced me to Chef Boyardee. I analyzed the nutrition. Turns out that the mini ravioli isn't as bad as it COULD be...so once in awhile for a treat when Mama and Daddy are having grown-up food for dinner such as spicy tacos, Abbie gets Chef Boyardee. As you can see, she doesn't much object to this arrangement, as a matter of fact, true Martinson that she is, she polished off the ENTIRE can of ravioli. Where does she put it? (Besides her face and hands)
SOMEBODY got a new swimsuit. We had to try it on in anticipation of our upcoming Florida trip with the Martinson clan next week and boy-oh-boy did we feel special. And Daddy thought we didn't need to wear the skirt...well, obviously he has never experienced the exhileration of twirling in a swimsuit with a special skirt attached...
So our friend Reid visited from New York - who says girls ride on the back of motorcyles?? Not in THIS family they don't! That's right, hold on tight Reid, this chick in ready to ride some hog!
Abbie and Mama visited Millenium Park this week with our buddies Alaina and Amanda and here is Abbie experiencing the famous "Cloud Gate" sculpture (i.e. "the giant shiny bean").
True to form, she then proceded to pound on the bean while babbling loudly "bloah, boh, la, ga bo cha" - obviously some intellectual commentary on the artist's rendering of the sculpture. Sigh, now if only she would've translated for us common folks' benefit :-)
