Well, this has been an utterly s-l-o-w day.
Matthew and Aaron are still out of commission with their stomach bugs. Nathan took a 2 hour nap this afternoon, which does not bode well. I have a feeling he is coming down with it as well. It is a terrible bug. Matthew was up until 3am, throwing up and just in general feeling miserable. Poor lamb. Thankfully, Aaron seems to be getting better now, but he is still sooooo out of it.

| Nearly all of our silkmoths have emerged. |

A drawing Nathan made in his silkworm science journal.
Here is an excerpt from his journal dated 6/10/12:
"One of are moths has hatched from is cacoon! And all the moth will do is lay her effs. (if of course it is a female) they lay eggs to about 300-400 eggs. And when they mate they stick there abdomen together. When the moth first emerges it will spit out a liqid, (don't ask me why because I don't know). |
 |
| The reddish liquid actually comes out of its behind, and it is called meconium. |
 |
| You can see all the eggs that are being laid by these moths. |

| Totally unrelated, but a rare family photo of us from a wedding we attended a couple of weeks ago. |

A cool photo I got of Matthew and Lily about a week ago before the stomach bug hit. And Lily's dress is mama-made. It is from a pattern in Handmade Beginnings.

Looking forward to better health next week :-).
