Hi Everyone -

Well, Alex got the dreaded cold. He hasn't been able to go to school all week. Today he was complaining about sinus pressure so we might need to switch to a stronger antibiotic. We'll see how he is in a few days and decide if a change is necessary. This cold really knocks you out. One day this week I had to wake Alex at noon so he could take his meds.

Emily left today for Girl Scout overnight in Pennsylvania where they're going caving. She and all her little friends were very excited last night when all the cars were loaded with their belongings.

We hope everyone has a nice weekend. Thanks for checking in on us and don't forget to sign the guestbook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jill, Steve, Alex and Emily
