quarantine

all right, 2012, you showed us who's boss.

bryan and i have now spent the majority of the new year sick with the stomach flu. together.

which is the worst. 

first of all, i hope everyone can appreciate how much i *hate* the stomach flu (and how much my wee baby hates it, too).  secondly, with both parents suffering equally, our little family is left quite without a responsible driver at the wheel.

however (and i'm not sure if this is a silver lining or what), it turns out our girls are pretty well accustomed to illness and the resulting incompetent care giving.

a box of chex and some bowls on the floor, milk where they can reach it in the fridge, toys and games strewn about the house, a lot of disney movies, and summer and afton are just about as happy as can be.

as soon as summer can change diapers, the kids will barely even notice when we're down for the count (which i hope is never ever ever again).
