It all started last Saturday when Jacob came down with a fever. By Monday he wouldn't eat. Then Tuesday Kielani caught it. I decided to have the kids checked on Thursday because Keilani was miserable on Wednesday (crying "up" even as I held her) and nobody would eat- not even chocolate pudding or ice cream! It turns out it wasn't strep throat, but a common childhood virus called Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. (Not really a disease, just a virus). Their strain of it lacked the hand and foot sores- herpangina. Adults rarely get the virus, but somehow poor Jeff got it. He says it's worse than strep throat. He's also been miserable. So, I've had quite the week with 2 sick kids, a newborn, and a sick husband. Enough said!
Today the kids were feeling much better. So, we went to Cosumnes River Preserve to get out of the house. We walked around and saw some wildlife. The kids had the most fun trying to catch a butterfly! Later we enjoyed the warm weather by playing outside and running in the sprinklers. Hooray for feeling better!

Oh bummer! I've heard of that hand foot and mouth thing, but thankfully none of us have ever got it.
It sure was nice and warm today, huh? We went to EDH to a bday party - think it was 91* there! Ick...thankfully only 75* when we got home up the hill.
Hope you all are feeling better soon!
Hugs, Diane
Glad that everyone was feeling better and that you got to get out of the house this weekend! The videos are to cute!
Man... your household has really been hit with viruses over the last little while. I hope everyone is finally feeling well! And I'm glad to hear you survived the onslaught. Molly loved the videos you posted and wants to watch them over and over. I could be sitting at the computer for a while... :)
