This week began the first of several weeks of ‘clinics.’  In other words, we have been sufficiently poked since the last time you heard from us.  


Fortunately, Amberley and I have never had any reason or been in any situation where our blood type was determined. Unfortunately though, this meant our Monday afternoon was spent having lab work done - which proved to be a humorous experience.  In case you were wondering, Amberley turned out to have ‘O POS’ blood running through her veins, while my heart apparently pumps ‘O NEG’.  Maybe this explains our temperature preference difference.


Tuesday, following our lab experience on Monday, we received the first five of many immunizations to be had before leaving for the field.  The photo above gives you a little glimpse of what we will be experiencing every Tuesday for the next couple of weeks.


I know you may be wondering why you only see three Band-Aids in the photo, when I clearly stated that we received five shots.  Well... let me first say that the shot process is extremely fast - that is, you go in, lift op your sleeve, then ‘bang’ and you are rushed out of the room.  The entire experience takes merely moments.  Amberley’s ‘clinic’ went so fast that two of her Band-Aids weren’t even covering the wounds.  She didn’t figure they did much good, so she removed them before the photo.


Well, that basically concludes the documentable excitement of our week. Stay tuned for more buzz from the Feeble Futts...

You both look pretty tough in your picture! I'm proud of you for taking those shots like a man, Joe. I won't mind needles after this process! Love ya'll!
