Well, it looks like all 3 of us are now inflicted with some sort of illness or other. I still have a sore mouth which I take Ibuprofen for as I'm not sure what our dental coverage is over here, or if they can even really do anything anyways. Chris is, luckily, away on a business trip for the night. I say "luckily" because he's getting very sick, and he's not here to pass it along. Makenna, the one with the congested cough and runny nose, is the only one who's fairly upbeat.
When Chris called us to tell us the bad news about his being sick, I was able to get Makenna to say "I Love You" to him on the phone. It came out "I wuv you", as would be expected, but hey, it's the first time we got her to say it and it couldn't come at a better time for Chris. I, of course, being the main nurturer for this child felt a bit slighted, but I was able to get her to say it to me when I put her to bed. So now I feel better.
We went out tonight to visit some other girl in the church, who has 3 children (all under 6), and who now, along with her husband, has moved in with her parents. They're trying to paint their house and get it ready to rent out next week. Can you imagine living in a small space with 8 people? I think there's only 8 but regardless, if I think back to our first apartment in Maidstone and having to put 8 people in there - I think only a few would come out walking alive.
Makenna enjoyed her time visiting as they had a few different riding toys to sit on. She kept moving from one to another. She had to fight with their son who is just a bit over two, but she towered over him, not that, that made a difference, but she eventually got on one and he gave up trying to hoard them all. He realized he couldn't possibly sit on all of them at once so it was a losing battle. It was good to visit as it gave Makenna and I something to do at night.
