Well, Chris did not really swallow a spider, but whatever he did swallow did wiggle and jiggle and tiggle inside him! After we returned from the Grand Canyon, Chris began to become cyclically and progressively ill until he finally ended up in the hospital. As it turned out, he had a parasite. Many missed days of work and vicious medicines later he recovered, only to end up with the chicken pox, which he then proceeded to give to all of the children. (All three boys had been immunized against chicken pox, and two of them got really bad cases. Go figure.) The chicken pox was a big part of this summer, as it keeps you in quarantine for quite some time. However, everyone has finally recovered and Chris has promised that he will not be getting sick again for a long time. We did get to read a lot and watch some Star Wars. Also, thanks to the Valencia's PS2 Star Wars, we can now all have fond memories of pretending to be Obi-Wan, while recovering from the itchies.
Thanks to all of our nice neighbors and friends who tried to find ways to help us pass the time and preserve our sanity during our convalecsence.
