Were you worried something happened to me? Something did. A little thing called vay-cay and I didn't want to announce it to all of blog land because that's dangerous. I repeat--announcing that you will be gone from your house for a set amount of time on the internet is dangerous. But we have returned now--pictureless and ashamed about that--hopefully some of my in-laws can hook me up with their pictures...I know you're reading this. We escaped to Bear Lake last Wednesday for a family reunion. Chris and I, along with Brandon and Stephanie were in charge of the whole thing. It turned out really fun and a lot less stressful than I had imagined it would be for months and months. Although vacations are totally different now that we have a 17 month old. More fun than a vacation with a 5 month old, like last year, but still limiting--especially since our princess has a 6pm bedtime.
Between chasing her around the two cabins and helping her adjust to sleeping in a playpen, we still managed to enjoy some night games and time at the beach and good meals. Greta and I took our first boat ride (yes, it was my first as well), but we passed on the tubing since Greta wailed when she was merely standing in the lake. Other highlights included: Chris and I escaping one night after Greta went to bed thanks to some house sitters to try out Bear Lake's famous shakes. Chris making a bomb meal. Laughing until tears were rolling out of my eyes at conversations between Chris and his siblings. They are all so funny! I hope to gather up pictures of these happenings and give you all a full report on our getaway.
But as it goes, all good things come to an end. Vacation ended and sickness set in--immediately...as in, on the way home. First Chris and then Greta shortly after. My two, precious sickys have come down with flu-like symptoms and have been lounging (among other not-so-pleasant things) all day. I have been doing my best to nurse them back to health with lots of soup, juice and popsicles.
Here's hoping it passes soon and doesn't hit me in the meantime. I have a full week ahead of me with lots to share. Starting with the finished hallway tomorrow. Oh yeah...I finished it.
What do you think?

I LOVE Greta's hair in that picture.
Her shirt is a hand-me-down. I told you about it before...remember....the one that I won't let her wear it out of the house because it is embarrassing. (*cough*mymomishot*cough*)
Precious picture!! I wanna know what is on her shirt...I could make out "mom." Ah I'm dreading for Brin's first stomach flu, and I know it is coming...only due time before she catches it from the nursery!!
Ugh they look miserable and I feel their pain. It got to me too. On the way home! We were driving and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. All last night I felt like crap and then the true sickness hit me this morning. All day I have moved pretty slowly as every inch of my body aches (and the other not so pleasant things that you mentioned above to not be mentioned above... wait what?!!). I had to go to church to be the librarian because my partner had surgery this weekend. So I just sat in the library for 2 hours watching the clock. I hope you don't get it. It's horrible. But anyways... love you and miss you already. Thanks again for doing so much work for the reunion.
Hmm, sounds like we shared too much! Interesting that none of the rest of my 'clan' has had any problems. I'm sure the timing of 'detoxing' didn't help things. So sorry!
hahah o yeah "we did it, we did it, it's DONE!" that picture is presh. Hope they get well soon Jules
