Continuing with February...it was a long month.
CeCe went to school on Valentine's Day complaining about her legs hurting, but she insisted on going to school so she could attend her V-Day party.
She came home from school that day and crashed. She developed a fever and was so sick. I called the doctor's office a couple of times, being told that it sounded like the flu and call back w/ any new symptoms or if she gets worse. Well, finally on Feb. 20th I got her to tell me that her throat hurt. New symptom, we had a doctor's appointment the next day. Her Pediatrician is off on Thursdays, so we saw a different doctor, one that has been with the group for about six months. There was an intern getting hands-on learning experience, which slowed the office visit down, so it seemed like forever til we got finished. I understand that doctor's 'practice' medicine, but man, was I upset. I thought for sure they were going to send me home telling me it was the flu, but thankfully, I noticed a rash on CeCe's trunk while the doctor's were out confirming, so the rash combined w/ her red throat, the doctor's had to diagnosis Scarlet Fever, and the strep culture came back positive (Scarlet Fever is a form of Strep). Good thing I caught it 'cause neither of the doctor's did. She was put on a antibiotic and lived to tell about it, but man was she a sick little girl. Daddy ended up getting Strep while the rest of us did not. WHEW!!!

I was able to have lunch w/ a local FLYbaby later in the month. That was was. Kristi is a real special lady and just a joy to know. Poor Will. While I was at lunch, he got a call telling him he was heading to Raleigh, so when I got back from my lunch date, we had to scramble to get him packed and out the door. Usually, his company gives plenty of notice, but this was a real last minute decision.

Alan continued on w/ the Chess Club at the high school again this year, and continues to take guitar lessons each week. He's getting into the bass guitar now.
On the 28th, Will and I joined a bunch of the other board members and stuffed goody bags for the .NET User Group Code Camp that was happening on March 1st. It was fun, and I got to put magnetic notepads w/ my business cards in the bags, which was cool. LOVE free advertisement! After we stuffed the bags, a bunch of us went out for some Mexican and just to shoot the breeze. It's a fun group, and I'm so glad Will has such a grand time w/ the group and with the other board memebers. The next night was the Officers Appreciation party at Awful Arthurs, sponsored by Microsoft, which was nice. This is one of the few places in Roanoke who knows how to do seafood, making it a very yummy night. We even tried some new beers. How's that for going out of our comfort zone? ;-)
