And then, there was influenza...

LouLou likes to fit in.

So you might have heard, there's a bit of a bug circulating around here. We're fine, but obviously things are a little weirder here than normal. The news started coming in last Friday, and as the stories of sick people and deaths started to increase, the numbers of the people on the streets started to decrease. By Saturday, the streets were practically empty and what people were on the streets were wearing surgical masks. Now we're both fans of zombie movies, generally speaking, but living in a zombie movie is a different thing altogether.

He doesn't love the tapaboca.

COOKIE!

Being shut in though, didn't stop the neighbors from congregating. First, there was a BBQ for Shelly where Ivan got to see his new girl-neighbor Ruby.

Then there was a dinnertime-breakfast birthday party for Ben, where folks set up a pork shrine to ward off the flu-formerly-known-as-swine.

Okay, so things are getting a little weird around here.

By this point, Ivan decided to get serious. There was only one hero to fight this menacing micro-organism...

SUPERBABY!

Able to temporarily stave off boredom with a single outfit.

Ruby went there too.

So here we remain, a little stir crazy but healthy and safe. Not much to do but we do have each other. One thing having Ivan has taught us is the importance of family to help you through a rough patch. And also, the joy of wearing no pants.
