Well, the last couple of weeks have been dominated by what I call the boomerang flu. Faith attended 2 days of school and then came home Tuesday and threw up. She stayed home Wednesday, but returned to school Thursday and Friday, but just wasn't acting like her energetic self. I assumed that she was just tired from Kindergarten, but on Saturday the flu came back with a vengeance! The sister missionaries were over for lunch and got to experience the fun along with all of us! Poor Faith. The rest of the kids soon followed, with Hannah getting it the worst and Bella getting in right as we were preparing to go to Austin for the TABC board meeting. That made the trip fun. It struck Hannah again during the trip and Bella in the car - in her car seat (always a fun clean up) on the way home from Austin. Brad also got it and actually took a sick day yesterday! I am the only one that has avoided the horrible disease so far. Sorry for the graphic details, but it has been the major focus of our lives lately!
On a happier note, the board meeting went great and all of the kids are enjoying school. Faith has decided that she might want to retire from Kindergarten and not do the school thing, but I have tried to convey that she is in for a long haul of at least 13 years of school. She leaves for school not so happy, but comes home excited about her day, so I think in a couple of weeks things will iron out for her. Jeb started pre-school and loves his class. He missed the first two days of school b/c of the flu, but is glad to be able to play on the "big kid" playground this year. He also has two of his many "girlfriends" in his class this year again, so he is a happy guy!
Bella is the only one of our kids not attending school and she is very sad about it! She would love to go with Jeb, but I would be the sad one if no one was left with me. I guess our family is really growing up. We are so proud of each one of them. We have so many blessings! (I can say that now that the boomerang flu is gone!)
