The word is...

Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. That's what Sis. Melody's pediatrician told her when she took her two younger-uns in today. But, their bumps are already going away, and their fevers are down, thank the Lord! Precious' temperature felt almost normal before bed, so I didn't bother giving her any meds. I haven't seen any bumps on her. Bumps and fever= contagious, so I'm hoping Precious isn't very contagious at this point.

We went out to wait for New Daddy this evening after some thunder storms blew through. The air was damp and cool, and the fading sunlight was ethereal as it filtered through the rising mist. And then, after Precious squished a beetle in her hands (scaring Mommy), she found herself on top of a fire ant bed (scaring Mommy even more)! We scooted inside, and I rinsed her off. As it turned out, New Daddy had to come find us inside, instead of us waiting outside for him.
