It's funny that we never did figure out where he got these from. He's not around other children much, and none that we know of had Chicken Pox. Oh well, another of lifes mysteries, I suppose. I never thought with a vaccine for this that I'd ever have to worry about my children getting it. But unfortunately Zachariah is too young to receive the vaccine, and they say that babies do not usually get them even when exposed. Pooey on them!
I guess I'll just count my blessing, because this is the first illness that Zachariah's had. He has been extremely healthy (not even the sniffles). So a few days of tiredness, I can handle.
Next week we'll get him out of the house and get back to our normal routines. I'm sure that we'll have to adjust again, but that's not a problem. We'll get back into the swing of normal life soon enough.

Poor baby! Chicken pox can be so itchy!
I've heard it's easier on kids the younger they are when they get them, if that's any consolation. Still, like you said, it's too bad he had to get them at all since most kids are vaccinated now. But just think, he'll never get them again!
Nice photos, by the way. I'm so lazy about posting pictures myself. And thanks for delurking on my blog; I'm always so excited when someone reveals themself!!
