The gift of a lifetime....

For Christmas this year, Jeffrey got a special gift from Pop that he hadn't planned on....chicken pox! Pop had shingles (and NOT the kind from a roof...can you say OUCH!!!!) at the cabin which he *shared* with Jeffrey. Jeffrey has never had chicken pox, despite being exposed several times....even a couple of times on purpose. "Hey Jeffrey why don't you go play a long time with Billy Jo and Betty Sue? Sure they have chicken pox! Go have fun!" Well, looks like this time he caught it. He's been feeling really normal, which is suspicious a bit to me. However, the breakouts followed a very customary pattern, starting on his tummy and spreading all around over the next few days. His itching hasn't been too bad either, thankfully. We're still looking for Josiah to break out soon, but so far, no spots.

Can't really see the spots...but they are there! Thanks Pop for a gift that lasts a lifetime!

In light of Pop's gift, I've been thinking about 2010, and praying that our year as a family would be filled with "once in a lifetime" experiences!

Word verification is "bring". So "bring" on those once in a lifetime God experiences--like a move to D-T-M-ville or a trip to Africa.

Negative experience for Bill...
Heavy on the positive!!!
Feel better, You Two.
