Hermit Crabs...

...we have become after weeks (off-and-on) of illnesses. Fortunately, we had a weekend off of germs when Grammy and Grandpa were able to come celebrate Matt's belated birthday.



Then we re-entered the land of sick where we are trying to escape. Thank goodness that the worst of the bronchitis, croup, and killer H1N1 are behind us. Hello Lysol and healing!

Side note: after seven days straight of being stuck inside, we have been forced to use our creative brains to find activities that release 2-year-old-times-two energy. Never underestimate the fun of setting up the tent in the middle of the living room, jumping off step-stools or couches onto piles of pillows, and the trusty couch cushion and blanket fort!! And thank the Lord for TV.




p.s. Happy early birthdays Pop and "Old Man Mangini"--sorry we missed ya!

Sorry to hear of all the sickness. Hopefully it is all behind you now.
Yes, the "house" play things can be lifesavers to get through cabin fever!! STAY WELL!! Love,
Wally

You guys are too sweet! I love the pictures, and I'm so glad your family is on the mend. It's no fun to be sick :(

I just showed Drew your birthday message. He loved it! You will be missed.

Love,
Amy and Drew
