New Years Day was a quiet one for our normally rambunctious group. Sadly, when the clock struck midnight, it delivered a major stomach bug to La Casa del Milagro. Five out of the six adults and one out of the four kids developed this nasty virus.
The kids (as Keaton didn't develop the virus until after dinner) spent the day playing on the beach. They must have known that a majority of the household was on bed rest as they played all day outside. No fighting. No crying. They entertained themselves all day. It was pretty amazing.
Paige and I mostly read, sunbathed and chatted until she finally succumbed to the stomach bug late in the afternoon. Then, there was one adult standing. That evening, I spent the night on the couch for two main reasons: 1) to avoid Josh and our contaminated room and 2) to be close enough to the kids in case they fell ill and needed some assistance in the middle of the night. Luckily, I was not needed.
