Sunday at the Groneman's

Our ward currently has five families with confirmed Swine Flu. Because of this, we're not taking Emmy to Church today, or at least until there are zero cases. Maybe longer, but we'll see. We've heard that Pediatricians all over Utah are recommending that any kid under 2 not attend church for the entire duration of the flu season this year.

We've also heard that with Swine Flu, infected people are contagious a full day before they exhibit any symptoms. That's why we're going to be extra careful.

So, for the next little while, Erica and I will take turns at Church. We'll need to be careful in public in general.

Let's hope that nobody in our extended family catches the swine flu, under two or not.

It's SO hard not to get sick when there are bugs floating around so many people. Good luck. I didn't get to see little Emmy this past week....get my "Emmy fix" because yer mom was sick. :'-(

Yes, I was disappoint to have lost that chance to see our little Emmy. You get addicted to these little people you see!
This bug hasn't been that bad, really, but often what is minor in an adult can hit a little one with much more force, so we don't take chances. I am making improvements, but I missed church today because I am not better. And I HATE missing church! :(

I'm actually really glad that we've already had it so that I don't have to worry about getting it! It is going through our ward too (along with stomach flu). I don't blame you for not wanting her to get it!

So, without the whole cruise being ruined, other than that, was it worse than other flu bugs you have had?

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
