Whew! It's nice to be back. Somewhere along the line, Aidan or Brendan (I can't even remember who) caught a bug. He gave it to me. I gave it back to him. Then Brendan picked it up. Well, you know how this one goes. The capstone of it all came when Aidan got an ear infection, Brendan was sick, AND both Christine and I were sick all at the same time. That was really the first time since the days right after the Dudes were born that I really thought all the wheels were going to come off of the wagon.
Thankfully, everyone is healthy again and life is back to normal. At least it is back to what qualifies for normal around here. Indeed, we were healthy enough to venture out to the Kite Festival on the Mall this weekend with our friends Julie and Michael and their little boy, Andrew.
