The Littles Are Sick

This week's news is that the 2 little members of the family are sick. Both Kaitlyn and Erik are struggling this week with the stomach flu! It hasn't been a fun week for them---fevers (up to 103.5), thowing up, blow-out diapers for Kaitlyn and lots of trips to the bathroom for Erik. I am glad that at least Toomas, Krista and myself have been spared from this so we can help out to make them feel better! I've sure done a lot of laundry this week. The machine has been going non-stop. Last night at 1 am I changed Kaitlyn's diaper FOUR times in the span of 20 minutes. There should have been a hidden camera in her room--I would lierally finish cleaning her up, get a fresh, clean diaper on her, put her pj's back on, wash my hands and then again ----that SOUND requiring another diaper change! After the 4th diaper both Kaitlyn and I had enough! Fortunately 4 was the lucky number and she managed to sleep afterwards. She hasn't been as plagued by the throwing up as Erik has though....poor little man!

In other news, Toomas went to Paris a few days ago to get the kids their European Union passports! Since Estonia is now a member of the EU they are all entitled to Estonian EU passports! I think it is great that they are passport holders from both USA and Estonia---they will be able to work, live and study without problems in Europe and America! This will be great for when they are older. So, in order to get the passports Toomas had to travel to Paris. The upshot was that he hit the Disney and Gap stores there and got a bunch of new clothes for the kids!! What a GREAT Dad! Here are a few pics from his passport/shopping trip to Paris!
