Me and the buddy

Marius never really got too sick, thank goodness. He had a fever for two days, his cough mostly subsided in a day, and he has only had a minor runny nose. I guess the power of boob juice is pretty strong! Thank god for breastfeeding! I'm going to be in for a shock when he's weaned and in day care. Because then the germs will be flying all over the place and his immune system won't have my boost. But I won't think about that just yet.
Chase and Sarynna just left to go back to Berlin this morning. It was nice to have company and adult conversation! Simon left yesterday for a week long field trip he's helping to lead, so now it's just Marius and me. I might venture out with the boy in the car sometime this week. I drove Simon to his office yesterday, and so that boosted my self confidence a bit in the car. But I will have to make it an early morning or late evening trip, since I am still a little scared of accidentally driving on the right side and getting in some horrible head on collision. More likely I'll just get honked at and see a few choice hand gestures from the other cars!
We started our today by going to church (yes mom, it's true!). I had been meaning to go, but could never get up early enough for the mass. But today we got up early to say good-bye to Chase and Sary, and I must say it was pretty nice. There were tons of kids there and babies too, so I didn't feel really bad when Marius got fussy towards the end, since everyone else was already screaming in the back.
