It's now official, Josiah is the second (and hopefully last!!) Dagerath to get the chicken pox. We are actually really glad the he went ahead and got it. I've wondered if I should feel guilty for the rejoicing that ensued when we saw the spots coming up on his tummy and back over the last 24 hours. After all, it IS a communicable disease! We've done so many things to make sure that we DON'T get those kinds of diseases (think H1N1, bird flu, stomach flus of all sorts, etc.) that it seems a little counterintuitive to be smiling and whooping at the thought of him getting this one. But, nevertheless, we are! We're just glad he'll get it and get it overwith. Julie's kiddos also look like they're taking the long and lovely journey to "the land of the pox"....and are going with equal rejoicing! :-) I mean, we couldn't have caught it from a nicer guy....thanks, Pop! :-)
And since all activities are back in swing this week, including orientation for spring sports at FEAST, basketball games and anorthodontic appt., I'm also very thankful for big boys who can babysit Josiah (in other words, play on the Wii with Josiah while mom and some other brothers go do things they are obligated to do!!) because Michael's out of town part of the week. All in all, I'm enjoying having some reasons to stay home and not do as much. I'm in the market for some good books to read if anyone has any suggestions! I seem to have a lot more down time lately....and will for the next couple of weeks looks like.

Yeaaaa for Josiah!!
(And Mom and Dad.)
Your journey is ending and ours is beginning! I know it seems funny to want everyone to get it, but better now than later for sure. Sorry I can't (or maybe won't!) share mom with you. I didn't know Michael was going out of town. Young ones get dibbs on Granna, right? :-) I'll try to post pictures, too. Happy Poxing!!
Will be interest to see exactly what Jeffrey's new spots are. The first round made me wonder because the "never tell an untruth" internet said the chicken pox incubation period is 14-21 days.
Nobody beats Beverly Lewis for fiction fast-reads--in my book.
