Hi everyone,

This is the first time I have blogged in at least 2 years. Things are good here in Seattle, WA. The weather is looking like spring even if the temps do not. I am still freelancing from home as I have done for the last 13 years. My boys 13 and 7 keep me busy enough after the 3 o'clock school bell everyday. Play-dates, soccer and lacrosse practice for Alex, piano for Joe and homework too. We did only a little skiing this winter even though the mountains are still packed with record snow levels. I spent a week last month (March 08) in Iowa visiting Barb, Darlene and Donna for our 2nd annual "Sisterfest" weekend. Debbie, I hope you can make it next time. We are still as weird as we were in our teens when we shared a small bedroom together...giggling all night. (This is a photo of my kids at the Museum of Natural History last fall, NYC.)  

Take good care, until next time...

 Annette, David, Alex and Joe
