Sick kiddos and other stuff....

Christopher and Jessica both have pneumonia right now. It has been hard seeing them both so sick. Luckily they are both responding well to the antibiotics. Christopher got it first and started his antibiotics on Monday. We're pretty sure he is the one who gave it to Jessica. She started her antibiotics yesterday. Christopher is already back to his normal self (talking non-stop, bouncing off the walls, etc), although he is still coughing. Jessica still feels a little sick today and isn't quite back to her normal self, but she isn't running a fever anymore. I'm sure once she gets another dose of the antibiotics in her she will be back to her normal, smiley, giggling self. Keep your fingers crossed that Matt and I don't get pneumonia too!

And some good news related to my dissertation....After getting the ok from my advisor to set a defense date a couple weeks ago, I was finally able to get all 4 members of my committee to agree on a date and time (an undertaking that proved far more difficult than I had anticipated). I will defending my dissertation on Wed July 9th. Wahoo! I have to fly back to Mississippi for the defense, which will be interesting. I haven't been back to Oxford in over a year. I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes!
