Well, we made it back from the Magic Kingdom and we had a GREAT time!
The kids all brought back Mickey and Minnie Mouse Hats and Scarlet Fever.
That's right.
Imagine that.
Getting our kids together with a million other kids all touching the
same things and riding the same rides and ending up sick.
I'm shocked.
I'm not for sure what we could have done differently except worn masks and gloves. But we still had a great time. And I'll try to post pictures and stuff next week.
Their doctor said they should be fine and no longer contagious after 24 hours and the rash should go away in 6 to 10 days.
Great.
The whole way home we listened to one of our favorite Christian Singers, Steven Curtis Chapman. We have been fans of his since WAY back and have been inspired by his adoption of 3 girls from China.
Our hearts were grieved last night when we got home to find out about the death of his youngest adopted daughter. You can read more about it here.
Our hearts also continue to grieve for this Florida family . The father was the Senior Pastor of Bell Shoals Baptist Church and was killed recently along with his son in a plane crash in North Carolina. He left behind a wife and 5 other children.
Compared to this, all of our difficulties seem small.
And life seems so fragile.
We will be praying for both of these families and trying to cherish our own families all the more.

Keeps things in perspective, doesn't it? Our prayers are with them all, too. The Coach's dad went to the pastor's service here on Tuesday. Said the family is amazing.
ReplyDeleteMaking your cake tomorrow! Hope I can follow in your fantastic cooking footsteps. :-)
Welcome Home! I missed you! I've also been heart broken over SSC's loss and I hadn't heard about the Pastor in FL. What a terrible loss! Take care and we'll catch up soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a busy couple of weeks you have had. Fishing trips, birthday celebrations, recitals, Disney World topped off with illness! I'm worn out just thinking about it! So glad you got to take the kids to Disney. We took ours last year and had a blast! They want to go every year. Yeah, right. Any luck with the house selling?
