The Winds of Summer

from the mom
Ben is sick again and spent much of yesterday on the couch with a blanket watching DVDs. At one point he said, "I get sick A LOT." Amen to that! I tried to reassure him by telling him that I was sick a lot as a little girl but I don't get sick much anymore.

I'm doing my best to keep Kyri away from him. She's proven tough but at this age, it is tough to keep washing hands, keep everyone from sharing cups, and maintain a safe distance. By yesterday afternoon, the temperature had soared above 60 degrees. Since we've had one of the coldest winters/springs in recorded Washington State History (global warming no doubt-ha!), we haven't been outside much since last September. I introduced Kyri to the sandbox, hoping to keep her away from Ben. She thought she'd landed in heaven.

I came to check on her and found Ben missing off the couch. Post-Albuterol he felt good enough to go out and join her. I can only hope that the fresh air dispelled the germs from his hacking cough. They were having such a nice time I didn't have the heart to break it up.

The temperature is supposed to hit the 70s today and 80s tomorrow. Since our bodies aren't used to such heat, I bought a new fan. And we're all taking our Vitamin C.

Long live Albuterol! The stuff works wonders.

I saw the weather forecast last night and I thought it was an error. I couldn't believe that the west coast is expected to be warmer than here in Georgia this weekend. Enjoy the sunshine!!

Love the photos of the kids. I pray that Ben will be feeling much better soon. Hang in there mom.
