Gavin the Eagle

I had to share this with you. This is my oldest nephew, Gavin. Two weeks ago he valiantly received his Eagle Scout Award, he had his 16th birthday, advanced to a Priest in our church's Young Men organization, and received his Driver's Licence. It was a big weekend for him!!!
I just wanted him to know that, one, I'm so proud of him, and two, he's just a great kid and I love him!!

Whew! No More Morning Sickness, But WAIT...

So for the last 4 weeks now, I have felt like a new woman. You know the kind, where you're actually able to clean the toilet before the yellow/brown streaks start to form, and the kind that can make dinner without dry heaving in the sink. I love being pregant!
I guess I must have celebrated a little too much, because last week, I came down with my annual Sinus Infection which makes my head feel about the size of my stomach (which currently looks bigger than it should, even being pregnant!). AND on top of that, Kiera was up all night throwing up! Now, this would be okay for any other year, but the underlining fear of the Swine Flu Epidemic causes me a little more heartburn than usual. I can't get the vacination until I'm better and Kiera is now sharing stomach flu with all of us AND, I just spoke with my friend who informed me that she has been standing in line for 4 hours at the Health Clinic and is still NOT in the building! It's crazy!!
Isn't there a secret location that has so much vaccine that they greet you at the door with a cup of hot chocolate and making you feel like a queen, as opposed to cattle being branded? This is my quest. . .
