Illness has fallen on my little ones for almost three weeks. Now, Dave has something.

We left Dave home while we ran out in the rain to catch a train to church this morning, but we missed it. Dave does the ticket purchasing, so we weren't sure exactly what to do at the ticket machine. There isn't a live person to talk to, so we had to wing it. Finally, a nice man did the button pushing for us (I think he was in a hurry) and walla - tickets. We climbed the stairs to the dock and waited. Three trains passed before another nice man told us our train wasn't coming. The trains were a bit crazy this morning with detours and matainance, so we plan ol' didn't have one to catch. The next train to Westminster wasn't arriving until after CCW was over. Darn. We walked back home in the rain.

Besides taking care of Dave today, my goal is to find a raincoat. You wouldn't think it'd be that hard, but I don't know where to begin looking. So, I'm surfing the internet. The good news is that we all have umbrellas, but it's next to impossible to push a stroller and hold an umbrella in the rain - now add wind to the rain! I have some umbrella repairs to do today too. : ) We arrived home soggy, but happy.
