So much for immunity!

So, the word I had on Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (Enterovirus family) is that most children only get it once, and then usually have immunity from then on. Tell my child that. She's apparently on her second case of this nasty illness this summer. She had one bout when we took our mountain vacation, and then came down with another episode of it last week. I have been under the weather as well, and we're seriously hoping we all clear up by this weekend, as we are taking Sadie on her first camping trip to Grayson Highlands State Park. The weather in the mountains looks pretty good for the weekend, and it will be much cooler than the pit of fire that is the Triangle area right now. I'm nervous about how one accomplishes toddler containment in a vast state park. I used to point and gawk at children on leashes, but don't think I haven't given this some thought... ;-)

I only have a couple of pictures to share- Sadie's first bicycle ride. Redmond fixed up his bike and added a child's seat, and they both donned helmets and rode around the neighborhood. Now, I just need to get my bike tuned and we're good to go...
