Sick


We've been sick here. Continuously sick. Starting around mid-October, The Cough visited our home with a vengeance, wrecking its havoc on me and Jacob. It subsided, only to be replaced by The Allergies. The Allergies had the decency to spread its love around, touching Nick also. Almost two weeks ago, Jacob came home from preschool with A Fever. A Really Strange Fever that would only stop by between noon and 2 pm everyday, reaching heights of 103 degrees, only to steal away until the morrow. Finally, finally, we rid ourselves of our unpleasant house guests (well, except for The Allergies - that one cannot take a hint).

Yesterday, Food Poisoning decided to visit Nick, Jacob and myself. We are recovering, albeit slowly, from his visit, thanks to an amazing neighbor/friend-for-life Hilary. Hilary, thank you for going shopping at 8 am this morning (a true sacrifice!) for supplies and also for taking Sam this afternoon. We are deeply indebted.

And for the record, our home is now closed to any other visitors of the Sick Variety.

Laura, I'm tying up loose ends for the auction for Nie held a few weeks ago. You won the blue bracelet that you bid on. Congratulations! Would you please email me so we can work out payment and where I can ship it to? Thanks so much.

Thank goodness your "guests" have finally left, and hopefully they won't be back for a long time! It's nice for all of you to get out and end that cabin fever, isn't it? Cute photos - handsome family - but I'm a little prejudice!

I hope your moratorium on no sickness visitors works! I know how horrible it is to always be sick!

By the way, which school are you going to root for when the Annual BYU/U of U game comes up Are you going to wear red? Or blue?

Laura! What's the name of the town you are living in? Kyle and I are looking at an Austin suburb called Cedar park. Ever heard of it? We had never even considered Texas before but the more I hear about it the more I like the idea! The only drawback I can see so far is that I can't get in a car and drive to my family within a day! I'd love any info you could give! thanks! And I hope your family is feeling better!
