We seemed to have had a really rough week of battling the flu, high fevers, no appetite, no energy, and then Ethan developed Roseola (a viral infection that is common in early childhood, very high fevers followed by a rash on the chest, back, neck and face. Once you have it, you have a life long immunity) With our little buddy already feeling so terrible, it was really bad timing to develop Roseola ON TOP DEALING WITH THE FLU!!! I didn't even mention that the rest of our week involved Ethan teething, he's cutting all four of his Cuspid teeth at once, Jeremy's soccer team getting beat out of going to the State Playoffs and we (not going to mention any names, but it wasn't me and Ethan doesn't drive yet) hit a mailbox (that sticks out way too far in the neighborhood) and took off the passenger side mirror on the Odyssey. Yeah that was a little pricey mistake! I think we need another vacation!!!
It's now Tuesday in the next week and we are all doing much better. Thank everyone for your prayers for Ethan's quick recovery. Here is a picture of his rash. It's kinda gross, sorry, but you might be interested to know what it looks like.
Here's our little guy feeling much better. He and Daddy were cutting up after dinner the other night and it was so good to see him smiling and laughing, I had to capture a picture of the moment.
Here's Fletcher giving Ethan the look, "Wanna Play?"

We are WAY jealous of your family vacation. Those pictures are beautiful!
SO glad Ethan is feeling better. We had hoped we would see you guys at the shower last weekend, but now we know why you couldn't make it. We DEFINITELY understand what it's like to have sick babies. I know you are thankful he's better.
Just last night -- Jason and I were saying lines from THE OFFICE, and Jason (very sadly) said, "I wish Jeremy were here to talk about THE OFFICE with us." It was very sad. Hee Hee
So glad E-Bo is better. Lots of Love from aunt Kelda, uncle Bryan , and Kalleigh.
Love
all 3 of us
Ethan - I am glad you are feeling better, I prayed for you.
