4 Girls and a Brett

On Friday morning, our friends, the Craters, came over to play and run around and take advantage of a beautiful day outside. Their oldest daughter, Allyson, and Brett went camping together (with the dads) a few weeks ago, so it was fun to see them reconnect. The kids are still very much so in that "I'll play beside you, but not with you" stage, but Ally and Brett are starting to play together more. They were going to hunt for a green monster or bear or something. They wanted to go into the woods - I convinced them that the area around the fire pit would be a little safer for the younger crowd!















We were way impressed that we got 5 kids sitting at one table, eating lunch at the same time!

Soon after lunch, they headed home and we headed inside, which is when I realized that Kate's slightly runny nose from the morning and turned into nasty thick congestion and a 102 fever. Lovely. After a trip to the pediatrician, it was assumed that Kate had H1N1. Her flu test was negative, but her symptoms were classic flu-like symptoms. She had her seasonal flu shot a month ago, so it *shouldn't* be seasonal flu. After a few rough days and a few really bad nights, she is all good again! We're praying that we didn't infect our friends!!!
