I know what you are saying

That I wrote one day and then disappeared. Give me a little slack. We had unexpected company on Sat - friends who were staying with other friends in town that got a stomach bug. They fled here (yes I am a good friend) and so we had a great time visiting with them Sat and Sun. Monday we were putting the house back in order (they have 4 kids). Then Monday evening at 11 pm Caleb and I got the bug. It was bad for 6 hours and then we spent Tuesday and today recovering. So, give me a little time to get back on track. I missed taking a picture yesterday but have all the rest. I just haven't had a chance to post them. I'll try and get them posted tomorrow.

In the mean time - a Carter story.

Yesterday Caleb and I stayed in his room trying to keep our germs to ourselves. This was very difficult for the boys as they are used to being together pretty much constantly. Caleb kept wanting to go see Bruba and Carter kept wanting to come in to Caleb's room. For the 10th time last night he again stood in the doorway and asked to come in. For the 10th time I said no, that I didn't want him to get our germs - I was trying to protect him. He walked away and then reappeared in full armor - knight's helmet, breastplate and shield.

"Now can I come in Mommy?"
