Gary here. I've been holed up in Georgie and Jacob's room for the past few days. One of my coworkers was exposed to swine flu a week ago, came to work not knowing it and then became sick herself (still don't know if she officially has the swine flu). Anyways, I came home a couple days later not feeling well, headache and all and so Liesl promptly and properly quarantined me in the hopes that the baby wouldn't get it. Long story short I haven't hugged or kissed my wife or kids, or eaten a meal with them in 3 or 4 days. Not fun! Liesl and the kids sure have been wonderful caretakers though. Sweet cards, meals in bed, kisses blown across the room. I have a wonderful family!
It looks like little Gary Logan has come down with something in spite of our precautions and Lizzy and Liesl are both experiencing symptoms of we-know-not-what. All this on the tail of a birth, on the tail of the last few months of pregnancy, on the tail of a dang tough year at work are pretty exhausting. Here's to a brighter 2010!
In other sad news, Jacob's primary teacher was walking her dog Friday night on the highway (56 not 5) and we think her dog darted across the highway and she lunged after it and got hit by a Ford Explorer going 60 mph. She's expected to make it, though she hasn't yet regained consciousness, but the surgeries will be many and the recovery long. When we got the phone call late Friday night, Liesl was already asleep and I told the kids so we could have a prayer for Sister Gerber. What I didn't know is that she was Georgianna's primary teacher last year and so she wept wailfully and I couldn't hold her or anything. Thank goodness for big sister Katrina who helped calm her down.
Anyways, here's some photos of little Gary Logan!

A doctor in our ward was commenting yesterday that everyone thinks they have swine flu...catch a sniffle and it's swine flu...hope that's not what you all have but if it is at least now you are immune. Hope everyone feel better soon. So sorry about your primary teacher...that's so sad. Do you all know when you are blessing Jr.?
We just quarentine ourselves to mom & dad's house. The rest of us, including Lillian have caught a serious cold but nothing like what Olivia went through last week. I hope you have a mild case like she did & get out of that room soon. I do have to admit though that being left alone for several days to do whatever I want, which would be sleep, eat, read, internet...sounds DELIGHTFUL! Lucky YOU! Liesl is probably jealous.
life sounds rotten. So sorry you're holed up like a disease. And it's stinky that the others still seem to have caught something... it can only go up from here! oh.... and that story about your primary teacher friend.... how sad!! we'll keep her in our prayers as well....
hopefully december at least will be delightful and full of christmas cheer :)
Blowing kisses your way from way far away! So very sad about the primary teacher. YIKES! love, mom
