Experiments in Life

Well, we won’t be seeing anyone anytime soon.

Emily has the flu, and a nasty ear infection.

All this after having quite the nasty little stomach bug last week. For those of you who don’t know, Jon and I spent all last Wed. night vomiting continuously for several hours. The next day, we were too sore to move. By Friday, we finally felt well enough to contemplate real food and to shower, then we got hit with the second part of the bug. Let’s just say we then proceeded to lose all fluids that we had managed to rehydrate ourselves with. Our first real meal was Sat. night. All the while, Miss Emily wanted to play and just didn’t understand why Mommy and Daddy stayed on the couch and in the recliner and didn’t move for two days.

So, we will be sacrificing pigeons in an attempt to appease the gods and pray for the neverending sequence of sickness to end. So far this year Emily has had RSV, a stomach virus, a double ear infection (not including the current ear infection), and the flu.

If this keeps up, we will have to burn the house in order to get rid of all the germs.

Until we are well again, take care everyone.

After a few months delay, I have finally gotten around to taking and posting some new photos. Yes, I know that I am a slacker, but I have been busy with the not sleeping. You see, Emily has decided that she does not need to sleep through the night any more. Sunday night, I spent the whole night going upstairs to try and get her to go back to sleep, trying to read my self tired again, then trying to fall back asleep. Repeat this twice and I slept somewhere around 3 non-consecutive hours Sunday night. Luckily, she slept better last night…

Update: If you are trying to get to the photos and cannot get it to work, rest assured, I know about it. You can got to the photoset on Flickr to see the photos.
