Coincidence, or the holiday/vacation curse?

I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

As I never add any content to my blog, Bridget invited me to contribute to her blog.

So here I am.

Today is Christmas eve. After sleeping in until about 8 this morning I awoke to find Bridget getting the boys dressed down the hall. Bridget quickly pointed out how a rash that Aaron had on his stomach had gotten worse and that he now had spots on his face and neck.

Bridget called the pediatrician and has Aaron there right now. It's probably nothing -- no big deal. It made me think about how something like this always seems to happen to us. I know I won't be able to remember them all. I'll let Bridget add to the list later and to clear up the Duder's foggy mind.

1. It all started on our honeymoon in St. Lucia in 1999. We spent nearly an entire day at a third world hospital with a beautiful view but unfortunately no bar.
2. Our first trip to Disney World in 2001. I had a business meeting that was held at The Grand Floridian resort in Disney. We were only there for a few days but Kaeli developed a rash toward the end of our stay. Bridget took her to the medical station in the park. We were actually escorted out of the park for fear of spreading Chicken pox. It was just a rash.
   
3. On an early family vacation in 2002-ish (only Kaeli I think) we ended up in a West Virginia (third world?) emergency room because Kaeli's elbow was dislocated.
4. Disney World 2006 - Ryan does a header into a cast iron bench and we visit the same med station we did with Kaeli.
   

I know there are more than this but I am supposed to be doing something else right now, I can just feel it. We have to be ready to depart for Mommom and Poppop's house when Bridget and the boys get back from the Doctor.

I'll make sure Bridget adds to the list....Merry Christmas!
