When pigs fly...or swine flu

Several people have been coming down with swine flu lately...there was even a rumor that our family had it, which I cleared up on Sunday, only to have Alex diagnosed with it on Monday. Oh well. When we went to the doctors office, they had a sign up asking anyone who had a fever to notify the staff when we check in, so I told them she may have a fever. She was not pleased with me when they handed her a facemask and asked her to put it on. Does it make me a bad mom that I laughed and took her picture?

How'd you like that death stare?
Anyway- Alex's spirits were lightened when 2 nice young men came by this afternoon bearing gifts for the ill. What a nice thing to do.

NH brought a bag with a stuffed pig in the bag stuffed with tissues instead of tissue paper and NN brought a stuffed teddy bear, Dove chocolates and a card. Well done boys! Take a look at the bag! So cute!

And so it begins... I don't think I'm ready... but she is.
