We had a problem with our blog so we had to delete it all and start over. Here is the link to our pictures from Kelly's trip in September. There are also pics from Christmas, her new bathroom, and her cool new bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/barkerzoo/?saved=1

We will get our Disney pix from Christmas uploaded this week and share those. They are sooo good!

Kloe came down with the stomach flu on Sunday night. Josiah came running out into the sanctuary yelling in a very *loud* whisper :-) "momma, Kloe's puking!". Poor Josh was up to his arms in little girl with nasties all over her dress and shoes. She was thoroughly peeved that her shoes were covered in spew and mad because her Pooh bear was all wet with the contents of her tummy. Needless to say, we wiped her up and headed home! She had a really high fever all night and was throwing up every hour or so. We kept giving her water etc every 15-30 minutes all night long, a teaspoon at a time to keep her hydrated. This continued all day Monday so I touched base with her ped. He said we could give it a few more hours but if not better to head to the hospital for fluids. She had almost 24 dirty pull-ups in less than 24 hours. She was so sick. But by Monday evening it was starting to slow down. She is STILL sick but only if she sneaks and eats. With just fluids we are doing pretty well but if I turn my back she's in the pantry sneaking cookies :-) Poor kid has to be hungry. And man, is she grouchy! She's better enough to be picking on Josiah but sick enough she can't eat. Hopefully, in a day or two she will be back to normal. Let's just hope the other kids don't get it!

Everyone else is doing great. Josh is still in school this semester. I took off since Kelly will most likely have her "big" surgery and my brother will do his transplant on March 2. But I plan to get back to the books in May.

The twins will be 12 in 2 weeks! Josiah will be 4 ~ 2 weeks after their birthday. I can't believe It!!!!!

Talk to you soon!

Love,

Andra
