Trying New Things

   We're all for trying new things; otherwise we wouldn't be here.  There is definitely one exception - Aussie germs.  Enough!  Both kids were sick a little over a week ago.  Sam has caught lots of stuff and spent the entire week at home with another nasty virus.  Poor kid even had fever over 106!  Again we narrowly avoided the ER thanks to our pediatric consult from 10,000+ miles away.  Thanks LW!  (Never thought when we were 13 that I'd be calling you from around the world at 3 AM :-)  We're told it's common for kids to catch lots of stuff at first since the germs here are just different enough that there is little immunity to them.  Ugh.

   Good news is today is the first day of Spring.  Bring it on!!


A care package perked Sam up a bit.  Thanks Aunt Andrea and Uncle Rich!!

You Aussies are weird... Most everyone else, I think, still has 19 more days of summer/winter. Oh well, enjoy it! Glad the care package perked Sam up. We definitely could tell Mia was beyond exited during Skype and with her email, too cute :) Hope they don't get stomach aches now. Happy Spring! We can't wait for Fall here!

So we can look forward to you guys bringing some new Aussie germs home to infect the neighborhood? :) haha. (Or at least the swim team!)
