Ok, so the story that goes along with this is kind of funny. Last Monday was one of the first really warm sunny days of the season here. Obviously by looking at my boys you can tell that we have to use sunscreen from April until October. So when Keaton woke up with a few bumps on Tuesday morning I assumed he had a reaction to the sunscreen and his "rash" would go away in a day or two. I sent him to school, and did not think anything more of it. That night Garrett was getting him out of the bath when we realized that his "rash" had gotten worse and there were more bumps. At this point it is not looking so much like a rash. At 9:30 pm I drive him over to a friends house (she is a pediatric nurse), and sure enough she confirmed what I had feared. He has chicken pox! What? He was vaccinated over 3 years ago. Well apparently that does not matter. So Wed. I took him in to see our own pediatrician and sure enough that is what she thought it looked like too. She told me that we would know for sure if he woke with more in the morning. UHHHH yeah......about 15 more in the morning. Oh well...could be worse. It is just a really light case. Should be gone this week. At least for Keaton. We are just hoping and praying that is stops there. Easton has been vaccinated, but Claire has not. I guess we will find out.

Maybe the funniest thing about this story is that last week at church there was someone dressed up in a bird costume (long story), and Keaton is convinced that the "chicken" at church was sick and gave him some pox. You can't convince him of anything else.

You'll just have to talk to that chicken and keep it away from the rest of the family =). Thank Keaton for the laugh!

Thank You

Thank you so much to all of those people who have been such a huge blessing to us. We know that we would not be where we are today if it were not for you all. We are so blessed.
