Ezra asked Why? and so do I sometimes .....

And so it begins (again)...
(Ezra asked "why" this week.)- This is actually from a blog post on my daughter, Jenn's blog but it shares my feelings tonite . Jenn, Jeremiah, Ella and Ezra were coming up Thursday for a visit... one we were so looking forward to... especially since they tried to come up last month and the kids got sick and could not come.... Well Jenn called me Mon. to share they were on their way to the doctors with Ella... she had a high fever and blisters on her tongue... Hand ,foot and mouth disease was the diagnosis Strep was negative for the rapid strep test... The plan was if no fever and no one else got sick to come up Thursday... all set until dinner tonite and Jenn got a call that Ella indeed had strep :( :(

To say we are greatly disappointed does not even get close to our feelings... So for the last 2 times the kids have gotten sick and we have not been able to see our "grand" children in what seems like forever..... this long distance grandparenting is for the birds...

Jenn and Jeremiah leave for Ethiopia in a week and a half to bring home their son, Eli... Mary Kate is due any day now with "Mady" - so I can't leave here... So I ask Ezra'a question tonite... Why?

I love you guys and wish we could have been together for the next few days... :(
