Well, what a week. We came back into Rio (the drug capital of the world thanks Collette) for training this week and it turned out to be an interesting week for my poor little munchkin. Last week he had a bit of a rash which I was told was heat rash. Then this week he had a fever and was very very sooky but I was told that it was teething. This lasted three days. THEN he got a big rash again all over his body. I then decided we really needed to get it checked out. So yesterday we discovered he has Rubella (however it´s spelt!)!! Lucky he´s over the worst of it and is recovering wonderfully. He is back to his happy cheerful cheeky self thank goodness! Such a nightmare though when your baby is unwell. So much for teething!! Minol still hasn´t got any! How exciting for Kobe and Rowan...haha!! I´m really missing family and friends right now and can´t believe it´s only been three weeks... how many to go?!! I´m excited though, tomorrow we´ll catch up with Anker who´s staying in Barra. He´ll stay with us over christmas so that´ll be great! Back to the beach house on Saturday, can´t wait. Gotta get back to the pool where I can tan so I can be browner than Collette this summer. Hehe. Ooooh, great to hear Simone had her little bubsie poops...how exciting and CONGRATULATIONS! Mum, I will call you tonight!

Hey Essie. You are always a tanned babe in the summer! Glad to hear Minol is better. That would have scared me being in a foreign country and having that happen. I guess you have Minol senior to be your personal translater! How's your portuguese going?
Love ya. Have fun!!!

I have been looking at both blogs for the next episode. Miss you all very much, so keep the posts coming. Did Minol see a David Stephensen on his Brazilian facebook? He is keen to use his Portugese. Love you...xxxxx Mumma
