| Japan girls and babies! |
A couple weeks ago Kristin and I toted our kiddos to Fort Walton Beach for a birthday party reunion with a bunch of our Warlord friends from Japan. Our population has about doubled! It was the most natural thing to see everyone all together again. Fun times! Jill and Cliff brought Lilia and Ivy over the next day, followed shortly thereafter by Chrissy, Mike and Liam.
Fun times were had by all…except for the round of barfing that ensued. It seemed like absolutely everyone was sick. Isaac started acting really weird. I attributed it to teething, then to the mild bug going around. For a couple days Captain Goodbaby was back to his old self, but then last weekend he seemed to get a bad cold and was sick a few more times. First thing Monday morning we pointed ourselves toward the doc. Diagnosis: strep throat. For both of us. Well, that explains why we’ve both felt so terrible. I got a lot of sympathy from Chris for taking care of a sick baby while sick myself. Or moderate sympathy anyway, and I’ll take what I can get.
So this week we did as little as possible—short walks as the heat allowed until I felt nauseous, washing the floor, lots of baby baths, and enjoying the monstrous lighting bolts zapping everything during our afternoon thunderstorms.

On War and Wiggly Bits—Tokyo With My Parents
Nothing worse than taking care of a baby when you're sick. I hope you both feel better, soon. Can I give a shout-out to all of us military spouses who have to do it ALL THE TIME? Geez…this is why Mr. TF has to give me expensive presents. I don't do this shit for free. haha.
I love that Issac is chasing the cat's tail! As for being sick while your kids are sick, it kinda seems to be the norm around here, and it's not until everyone one is better that I often think, " Oh, I must have been sick too, I wonder if I should go to the doctor?!" Sorry, you and your sweet baby got strep. I almost felt like I should avoid people with other kids just so my kids would stay healthy – but I can't resist seeing my friends.
