Elijah and Grayson have both contracted the HFM virus (it's been making the rounds in Elijah's children's class at church). So far, Elijah has had it worse with a rash all over including down his throat. Grayson so far has just had a high temperature and hasn't wanted to eat. He has, however, taken many naps and been very cuddly . . . the only pleasant side effect I've noticed so far. My glass half full take? Just another childhood illness helping to create lifetime immunities for my little boys.

Poor kiddos. I want to see pictures of the throat. Maybe you should chase them manically around the house with a video camera even though they don't want you to . . . ;).
Carly, we never chased you around the house with a video camera trying to get pictures of your chicken pox in your throat!
Oh, that looks so uncomfortable. Poor little guys.
I used to love some small illnesses to get that snuggle time. It is the time when they really only want you.
They needed some Aunt Julie love - and I wasn't here! :( PS - I think I'm on Carly's side for the chasing around the house with a camcorder...I remember those "Walkin' in Sunshine" days. :)
Oh Darla - so not fun. I hope the boys get feeling better soon. I've heard this "disease" is going around our town like crazy. Hang in there!
Poor little guys :(
