    Have you guys been up and about? The whole Vierra clan was knocked out this past weekend. I couldn't go into work this whole cycle, which means I'm home till next tuesday. I was down with some kind of flu over the weekend, Kim is mid way through it now and Carter is just getting over it on top of getting over "pink- eye", (you guys can swap puss stories).
    Crazy thanksgiving. I'm thankful for Nyquil. -B
