What a strange day it has been. I voted today but Amy was not able to. She woke this morning complaining of stomach cramps and a pernicious ague. Jake woke soon after. I went into his room and he too said he felt sick. Thus it was confirmed. A bug had struck the Wollny household. …

I have taken the week off. It’s been very pleasant so far. Georgina visited on Monday all the way from Chicago. We spent the evening playing the fiendishly addictive Boomblox on the Wii. On Tuesday lovely Tante arrived from Copenhagen to stay with us for the week.

Mia has now reached the grand old age of 11 weeks and 4 days.
