Cambridge and Chicken Pox

We went up to see Nate, Claudia, and Sofia up in Cambridge over Thanksgiving weekend.  We couldn't actually leave until Thursday night because I have a job that generally expects me to make an appearance every once and again, but made up for it by staying all the way until Tuesday because it was cheaper to do so.  Guess I only care about work when it's convenient for me to do so (ha ha, that is clearly a joke).

We always love visiting the old 'hood up there and seeing family--and the fact that we have to periodically leave the country for visa reasons doesn't hurt either.  We also managed to get loads of baby stuff bought up there, because Spain isn't the best place to do that as it turns out, so there's about 50 more things to cross off our list.  Unfortunately, Sofia had some sort of bug, which I caught while being the Best Uncle Ever and helping to clean up vomit.  My Thanksgiving dinner consisted of hiding in the bedroom to avoid having to smell food, and--later on--I ate some crackers, washed down with ginger beer.  I am thankful for: Saltines.

Anyways, whole reason I'm posting this is to post this photo of Sofia looking sick.  It also turns out that she has the chicken pox, which sucks.


PS I'm fine now thanks for asking.

I've been wondering where you've been. I'm glad Marie didn't get sick. I can't believe you are having a baby this month!

I can't believe it either although Cat seems to want to do her part to help prepare me. Every morning now as soon as I sit up in bed, after pushing her off of me, she jumps up on my shoulders and wants to be carried around like a baby.
