It Begins

I miss Texas a TON, especially the people, but one thing that I haven't missed at all about the place is the seemingly rampant disease there. Somebody ALWAYS had strep, stomach flu came and went in frequent waves, I was on a first-name basis with our pediatrician's nurse. There was just always something. I've never seen anything like it before or since. No seriously, since we've come back to CA we've been very nearly disease-free.

This past week Joseph has had a cold that came with a bit of a fever. No big deal, totally manageable. Pretty much over it now.

Just now he came to tell me his ear hurts "on the inside."

And Ben's coughing. "It's nothing, just my throat itches."

I guess the honeymoon's over!
