A much needed break!

Just a quick update to let everyone know that we are heading off to Poland for a week to visit with Sev's family- they have never met Audrey and only saw Grace once when she was 3 months old! After Poland, we will take a short flight to Florence, Italy where we will rendezvous with my family for a week. We plan to eat and drink our way through Tuscany.
Needless to say, if you haven't heard about the "children's virus" sweeping through China, we are anxious to get out of here for awhile. Although not normally life threatening, a version of this virus has already killed 30 kids and the first case in Shanghai was just reported this week. At Grace's school, every child has to show their hands, get a fever check, and a mouth inspection before entering the classroom. The symptoms are similar to hand, foot, and mouth with blisters on hands and inside mouth but this version can develop into meningitis. Anyway, we picked a good time for vacation...
