Here we are in the first week of February already. Time is speeding by – Christmas is long gone, spring break (two weeks!) is next month, then only a few months until the school year is over. Our greatest accomplishment of late is surviving a round of sickness which spread through our family, felling us one by one. It seemed to be some sort of rotavirus – apparently one of the strains that aren’t covered by the Rotateq vaccine, as the two little kids were both vaccinated with that and neither was spared. On the bright side, although it took everyone out for a day (mainly one at a time), it only really lasted for a day (certainly less than two), except for the baby, who was sick for a couple of days.
There is nothing like a tough round of sickness in the family to make the chaos of regular life seem very manageable! It also reminds us how lucky we are that we are all generally healthy.
