Bad Week?

We were on our way up to Maple Valley, WA after church on Sunday to visit John's family, celebrate a late Christmas and have a fun New Years, but on our way up, our car broke down on the freeway (still being fixed), I'll spare you all the details in between, but we finally made it up there by 11pm. Then we ended up staying two extra days because all of us.. yes, all 9 of us came down with a terrible stomach flu right after we took this photo. So needless to say, our New Years was not too much fun since all of us were sick. John's Mom went to so much trouble to have some wonderful food all weekend, "Christmas" Dinner, New Years snacks, and so much more, but none of us were up to eating much. When it finally came time to leave, we got about 30 minutes away and realized that I left my wallet and the high chair tray at John's parents... we headed back to grab the stuff but barely got back out of town when Taylor got sick all over the car again... What a week!

We did manage to have some fun though, we played a couple games, and celebrated John's Mom's Birthday and had a blast seeing all the kids together. Next time we will just have to check the sick status before we come up. ;) We are just all glad to be feeling better.
