Things Certainly Happen For A Reason!

WARNING: MAY BE GRAPHIC!

Today was the day we were suppose to be in Moscow meeting our first referral. But things happen for a reason! We are all sick! They probably wouldn't have even let me in the orphanage today. I sound and feel horrible! Brad is the only one that is healthy (so far) in our house and couldn't wait to go to work today. Even after I asked him to stay home and take care of all of us :) It all started with Nate on Friday afternoon. He came home with a fever and cough from school and is still home today :( I would have had a difficult time leaving him especially after what Aidan went through with pneumonia. I had had a sore throat for days, but started going down hill yesterday and Aidan is home for his 2nd day this week due to a short-lived fever, gross nose and funky eye boogers! Yes, he had snot coming out of his eye last night. That would have sent my mom over the edge! At least I had seen it before and knew what it was. So, here we are. Not in Moscow...but for a reason! Somehow all this sickness makes me feel better about the turn of events 2 weeks ago!

You are too funny. It will happen when it's supposed to. We weren't expecting anything until first week of December and look at what a gift we got. It's always good to know that someone else is in control of this crazy world we live in.

That's nasty. ;-) Feel better soon!

Me, too! I'd have the boys quarantined if I was there watching them!

Feel better soon!! You're right, I wonder how it would have all worked out? I know I panicked a little when they were waiving temperature wands at us when we got off the plane in Korea. How great would that be to be quarantined there??....NOT!!
