alright, five days

busted. i committed to the 'three-day-posting-gig' a little prematurely. so, here's my bit at five days. better than 30.
it's snowing today. lovely and beautiful. news of us: we're all sick. whip. crazy how quickly sickness tears through a family of three. alasdair on day one, papa nearing the end of day one and mama on day two. fortunately, i think we're all winding down. seeing alasdair sick makes me so sad, as any mother and/or father knows. it's terrible. and the night-time fever. the heat glow around their poor little body.
he sleeps now. sweet thing.
and, of course, along with fever comes the dazey state. alasdair, so kooky. he mumbles, which isn't uncommon, but moreso. he wanders and smiles and calls out for koia and red, the cat. he woke this morning to the sound of my stomach digesting. it must have sounded like a meow, cause immediately he sat up and said, "red. killy--kitly---killy." tongue protruding. so cute.
we got a new truck!!!! a new work truck, i should say. ben's been driving around an old-school duely for the past year. terribly sketchy. so much money has gone into that truck... for what? anyway, it was past due time for the caketaker, ben, to get a new ride. they made one stop and ended up with a 2008 chevy silverado extended cab long-bed. white. amazing deal: from $33,000 to $23,0000.
think they were hurting? geeze.
it's so nice to have a truck we can all ride in.

... off to boise next week. wednesday or thursday. i can hardly wait.
