A pox upon our dear Sam!

This sad-sweet face is why we have accomplished only about 75% of school work the past two weeks. Anyone ever had a child w/ chicken pox AND asthma? Yech! He calls the pox his "stickers". Dirk calls him 2-pox. Im so relieved that all the kiddos have had this now and I will never have to deal w/ it again!

Much to DH's chagrin...

...here I go. After numerous requests for more content, pictures, updates, and prayer requests, the Russell Fam now has its own blog. Dont expect too much here. Im no writer AND I have 6 full-time children and 2 part-time children that deserve more of my attention than the internet does. That being said, DH and I think that we have the 8 cutest children on the planet and love to regularly post pictures and anecdotes....especially having to do w/ running a houseful of boys w/ only one ruling princess. A big San Antonio "Hola" to you all!
