Sickies

Our home has been hit hard this weekend by the dreaded stomach bug. I guess this is just one of the many joys of MOPs - sharing food, fellowship, and viruses. Somehow, poor Emma seemed to get a double dose of the stomach bug, first with no fever, and then 2 days later, the same symptoms with a fever. There is nothing sadder than a sick baby. She was a little trooper though, perfectly content as long as someone was holding her. We enjoyed the extra snuggling time. It is not normal for her to fall asleep being held like this. But oh so sweet.



To make the weekend more exciting, our friends Joel Bannister and Julie Foster came to visit too. Their plan was to go climbing all day Saturday with Levi and Joel Miller, our friend/boarder. The plans changed to playing mini-golf (slightly less strenuous) and hanging out in our living room (i.e. "sick ward") watching us eat Jello. They were very gracious, although after 3 of 5 household members were sick, Joel Bannister did say, "I kind of feel like sleeping in my car tonight."
