*knock knock knock*

... on wood, that is. 

i should have.

addi and gwen's fevers showed up tonight. addi is actually a dream when she's sick. she's mellow and cuddly, no screaming, no demanding, no whining, no tantruming. gwen hasn't really had much sickness in her 15 mos. of life, but she doesn't take to it as well.

i'm glad it took them a few days though, because if they would have gotten sick at the same time as me ... whoa, that wouldn't have been good. i feel like i will be able to handle taking care of them now.

so the quarantine is on until at least next wednesday now. (you're contagious for up to 7 days after you first start showing symptoms.) the sisters in my ward are bringing us dinners, which helps a ton! oh, and THANK YOU ECHO for dropping off our box of fruit today!! i almost cried to see all the apples and oranges and plums and corn ... and cherries! they look so wholesome and delicious staring up at me from their debbie meyer green bags in the crisper.

3 down, 1 to go. i'm hoping case will get sick tomorrow or friday so that his really bad days will be on the weekend. that way he won't feel bad taking off of work to get some rest. but i guess technically, no matter how he's feeling, he shouldn't be going to work for the ENTIRE WEEK ... oh dear. i don't see that happening ...

Sorry you all are sick, that's no fun. We were under quarentine a few weeks ago, it sucks! Good luck and I wish I could help out. I'm glad you have a good ward though.

you all will be in our prayers!!! and i hope that you will be okay tending to your girls. i hope that they don't feel too crappy, sick little ones make you feel so helpless, but it is a good thing you are feeling a little better. hang in there!

ya know, marc was the one who had to take care of adelaide along with my mom, but he had to return to work as well. i mean, he wasn't sick or anything but he could have been a carrier, but sorry people, he had to go to work or we would not have survived this month.
but hopefully casey doesn't get it. we will pray for you guys.

Stef...I can't believe this. We will be there on Tuesday. So does this mean you can't hang out with us and our cute children can't meet? This is very bad news.
