Josie and Tessa

Today's the day ........................ to catch

This is the sort of picture you get when you ask young ones to 'say cheese'.  Always so much better to catch them unawares!

It's a miracle though that Josie has managed anything approaching a smile today - because it's pretty certain that she has chickenpox.  A few spots noticed in the bath last night have been joined by others today.  And together with other symptoms of general under-the-weatherness, she hasn't been her usual buoyant self today. 

Hopefully, she'll be on the mend soon, which will probably be when Tessa goes down with it.  But much better to catch it when you're young and get it over with at an early age .....................
