The whole house is sick!

We have been in Tallahassee for over two months now. We are all adjusting well. Samantha started pre-K a couple of weeks after we arrived and she loves it. She has a great teacher, which she likes, and a small class, which I like. Every week they are learning a new letter, what words start with it and the sound(s) it makes. She is growing up so fast.

This was Rachael's first Halloween and I couldn't decide what I wanted her to be. At the last minute, I saw a cute scarecrow costume and ordered it... it arrived on Halloween day... whew, that was close.

Rachael will be 8 months in a couple of days. She is sitting up very well, although, I still keep pillows around her, just in case. She spends a lot of time in the pack-n-play, which helps when she falls down. She rolls to her tummy from her back great. She is not so interested in the tummy to the back, though. She just gets mad and fusses until someone comes to get her. She still isn't getting a lot of floor time. We have hard surface floors here and when she is on a blanket, she just scoots and slides around. It's hard for her to have any leverage, but she will get it. Rachael has also started chattering. Sounds like she is trying to say "mama" or "mommy"... "ma ma ma ma". She is a mommy's girl, after all.

November marked the month of illness. It's the 10th and Rachael has been sick for over a week with RSV. She had a fever for several days, now is just left with an awful cough and runny nose. Of course, now everyone has the cough and runny nose and Meredith is flirting with a fever. She has had one off and on for several days. Not sure what is going on with her. Samantha has, so far, dodged the fever, but has all the other symptoms. We're just hoping that we don't get it and that everyone is well by Thanksgiving... actually before, because we are scheduled to go to Macon for doc visits.
