Weekend Spoiler

Okay, so I have been looking forward to this past weekend for many weeks now. My parents were coming into town, my Dad's birthday was Saturday and they were having a baby blessing at Church. I was psyched! Friday night we went out to eat Mexican food and all was well, then at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, James woke up with the stomach virus...in a very fierce way! He was sick all night and pretty much all of the next day. My Dad hates nothing worse than the stomach virus and I just knew that he would freak out. "Happy Birthday, and James may have given you the stomach bug!" Anyway, my parents went ahead and stayed on Saturday, hoping for the best. We went to breakfast (without James, of course) at Brother Juniper's and it was delicious and then we all went shopping to stay out of the house as much as possible to avoid getting James' germs. I also walked around the house with Chlorox wipes trying to disinfect any and everything that James might have touched, but it didn't matter...at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday morning....yep, you guessed it, I woke up with the stomach virus. So much for going to Church for the baby blessing service. My parents got up about 6:30 and headed back home so they could get sick in their own house. Luckily, Case only seems to have gotten a mild version of what we had, thank goodness, but he's still had an upset tummy and a little fever that we're hoping to be rid of by tomorrow so we can get back to work and life as usual. And I talked to my mom today and thankfully, they both escaped without getting it. Anyway, the weekend I so looked forward to was definitely not what I had hoped for! Oh, well. That's just how it goes sometimes...and it could have been worse! Happy Birthday, Dad! I had hoped to take lots of pics over the fun-filled weekend, but this is all I got on my camera phone. My Dad and Case at Brother Juniper's.

Poor things! we wondered where you were when Case's picture flashed up on the screen, but I'm glad he didn't get too sick himself. Stinks.

Oh, I detest stomach bugs, and I'm sorry your weekend was a bust! No fun! Let me know if you need any homemade chicken soup--one of my specialties!

So sorry! I hate you missed the baby blessing and that you all felt so bad!

Feel better soon!!!
