Just what we needed!!

Last night Chris decided to bring this huge pony home. He claims that his Bluffton store won some contest and this was his prize, a plush pony. This thing is huge. Ella was afraid that it was real and was petrified of it. Just a little bit ago I got it out and explained that this was just pretend and not real. "Mollie" is now Ella's long lost friend apparently. Another virus has hit Claire. She started with a temp on Wednesday night. Yesterday it got to 102 degrees. Today it is up to 103 degrees. She was also tugging at her ears, so I thought she had an ear infection. We were lucky and able to get into the doctors office this am. Her ears looked good and so did her throat. I am glad but at the same time we have no real answer for the high temp. So Tylenol is our best friend. Our doctor said to just monitor her and if we make no progress to come back this weekend because she is on call and will be at the office:) Right now the Tylenol must have kicked in because she is kicking and laughing. Two hours ago she was a fire hot little miss that would not move. It was a sad sight to see:( We can only hope that her big sister does not get this virus. But as our luck has been so far I am sure she will be getting this soon. Wish us luck.

Ha Ha! That huge horse is funny :)
Poor Claire her eyes even look like she doesnt feel good. Let me know if you need anything this weekend. You could send Ella down if she needs to blow off steam. She could always ride that horse here. HA!

ada had these before christmas and it really hit her hard. she was fussy and lethargic and wouldn't eat. micah had it too and anne thinks it is fifth's (?) disease? i am not sure i am spelling that right at all, but anyway--ada acted like her ears were bothering her too and then she got a rash. then cambel got a weird rash on his face for a day or two--we figured maybe it was all connected (or we are just really dirty or something:)) the good news is, it seems to be just a weird virus. the bad news is that it must really make them feel terrible.
i hope it passes quickly!
