I believe my family has contracted the norovirus, aka the stomach bug. According to the CDC this virus is very contagious. If no one hears from me in a few days, please send help.I am up bright and early this morning after having dealt with the after effects of Benjamin's latest "present". Let's just say it was so bad, I needed to give him a bath. I was up late last night dealing with Benjamin's previous gift as well as Vanessa's continual expulsion of the contents of her stomach. She started feeling bad in the early afternoon, and it rapidly became worse. At first, we thought it was due to her pregnancy, but we soon realized that it was related to Benjamin's condition. Fortunately, I am still standing, although I have a strong sense of foreboding that I am next. If that is the case, I might have to call reinforcements - "Hi Eva, this is Sam. How are you? That's great to hear. We are all doing.....excuse me for a sec...BLAAAAARFFF!!!...so, are you busy today?"

For more information about this highly contagious disease, you can check out the
Norovirus blog. No joke, this virus is so popular, it even has its own blog! I suppose you could say that I am about to join one of the original social networks...pray for us!
