That's supposed to be some sort of curse, right? To say our week has been interesting would be an understatement. We've had a public meltdown complete with wailing, gnashing of 8 tiny teeth, and other Linda Blair-like behavior. THEN we had a hotel night filled with three fire alarms that sent us out into single-digit weather. THEN we returned home to find our water pipes frozen. THEN little Elliott woke up well before dawn today gasping for air and sounding like a cross between Darth Vader and a barking seal. A visit to the Children's Hospital after-hours clinic revealed an unsurprising diagnosis: croup. Not too dangerous but very alarming. As an added bonus, the doc told us to "keep an eye" on his right ear because it's congested and may soon become infected. (I'm not sure what "keeping an eye" on it will accomplish, but alright.)
Maybe our luck's turning around though because this afternoon I won concert tickets to see Eric's favorite band. Keep your fingers crossed. And if you see any voodoo dolls lying around that look like me, give me a heads-up. I'm beginning to think that the curse plaguing my friend Katie last week has rubbed off on us! --Marilyn
PS--I'll post more pics when Elliott's feeling better.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry. I had no idea my curse was contagious. I'm sorry Elliott is sick. That sounds miserable, and it sounds like you haven't had a good night's sleep in ages.
Bummer. (That's how we express sympathy in California.) What's Eric's favorite band?
I was trying to think of his favorite band too. I know you've told me before. Dave Matthews?
Mrs. Bowlby guessed it... DMB! Their new album comes out in April. - Eric
Oh no. I hope Elliott is better.
Yuck. Hope Elliott is feeling better.
So, where is DMB coming? Atlanta?
PS: I like you and all, but please, you and the contagious curse need to stay away from me this week. Mmmm kay? Thanks.
They're coming to Birmingham. Playing at Oak Mountain...I mean Verizon Wireless Music Center on April 20th. Elliott's a trooper. He'll be back up and running full speed in no time.
