Keeping it turkey


Ten days since the last post- all of us caught the first wave of flu since James began going to the germ repository (daycare). The day after his first day he had a fever and has been going through all the syptoms of a flu since. Other than the flu, james loves going in twice a week with the other hummels. I (Mike) luckily (?) avoided most of the worst of it but Kat and James are bearing the brunt. In the morning its like being surrounded by Darth Vaders with all the constant heavy breathing. James showed promise blowing his own nose for a couple of days but then suddenly lost the skill recently.

We are busy getting ready for our Thanksgiving this Saturday and looking forward to meeting friends in Amsterdam on Thursday for a couple days visit. (Just three Mom, I know, fish and guests...)

On the future plan front- no word from Allbright yet- and not really expecting any- and a polite rejection from Cornwall. Disappointing to get your hopes up, but part of the kooky academic game. A hopeful sign this week though, as we found something that could benefit everyone's long term ambitions with the chance for Kat to teach in New Hampshire at Keene State. The guide book open next to James at the breakfast table is for New England. We'll see.

We have gotten into putting everything on our heads recently (I don't know where he got the idea...)




And being a ham regardless of the snot quotient/cranky pants...

The "plastic container on head" photo is just as classic as the bath photos you posted earlier.

New England sounds nice, will think positive thoughts for that prospect.

Hope the Darths Vadars are feeling better soon!

James is a lampshade kind of guy. : ) The colander is a classic look, though.

Love the Darth Vadars - hhhaaaaaa, peeeeerrrr; hhhaaaaa, peeeeerrrr. HA!

On the germs - the first year of
"school" seemed to be the worst, but it got better after that.
