My Mabel update is that she is amazing! Pat got home on the 7th of February and we all got the stomach bug....NOT FUN but we made it through it and learned a lot along the way and Mabel has been eating a ton since then, which is so very relaxing for me as I can get a little caught up in it at times. She is running and walking around everywhere inside and out....I love it. She is also starting to talk and say a few words or styles of words and loves to gesture the Itzy Bitzy spider, Patty Cake and Head Shoulders Knees and Toes songs. Also her favorite thing to do it hang out with her Dad and "wrench" on his skateboard and pull him by his finger to wherever she wants him to go.
Bella is doing well and the stage of Mabel picking on Bella and Bella ignoring Mabel or getting annoyed with her has passed and I would say they both like each other a lot....Bella especially likes to pick up the peanut butter cookie crumbs that Mabel leaves behind!
On to the pictures :)

Long walk.
The Living Plant Aquarium....in SLC! Mabel liked it but stuck close to Dad. Kate was more of a dare devil.
More goggle pictures.

This was during the stomach bug....she never just lays on the couch.
Friends.
George is a super Friend and really helped out during the stomach bug.
