Although we've adjusted well to life in Brussels, we feel the most homesick for the States when one of us is ill. We miss the pediatrician who knows the name of Elisabeth's bear, Abigail. We miss the CVS pharmacy in Falls Church - the pharmacist knows the girls and always has a smile for them when we pick up medicine. We miss the Pedialyte at the pharmacy, Gatorade and the Popsicles at the grocery. The only positive here is that groceries sell Sprite and 7UP which the girls love when they are sick. They call it "bubble juice".
Rich has a conference in London this weekend. We were supposed to go as well, but we may stay home. Not sure if we can handle being sick on the road, especially Elisabeth.
