Sickness Abounds

 It seems like we all have some sort of cold weather malady right now. Unfortunately, Julie has gotten strep throat and I'm hoping she doesn't spread it to the rest of us! :(  She is such a trooper though...she doesn't even complain.  Today she will be spending the day in her room...watching movies and getting plenty of rest.  No ballet for her tonight! :(   Hopefully we will all return to "normal" very soon!  I'm really looking forward to the coming weeks because this is my favorite time of year.  Christmas music, shopping for gifts, sending out Christmas cards, wrapping gifts....I love it all! :)
