Yes, it sure has been a long time since I've updated....things haven't been all that exciting---I've been meaning to update for the past...ummm, well, ok...a month! yikes!
Since I last updated we've all suffered through the WORST stomach flu EVER!!! I was the only one that made it out. Abbie picked it up first at school (I heard it was going around!)--5 days!!! Then Jon got--he was sure he was going to die by the 5th day as well, and then Lauren got it, but not near as bad as Jon and Abbie. It was horrible...all in all, it lasted about 10 days between the 3 of them. Then, just to make matters worse, we thought Abbie was over the bug and we headed to Iowa for our big Christmas with Jon's family. By the time we got home on Sunday evening....we had infected Jon's mom, sister, step-sister and niece...can you even imagine??? I felt HORRIBLE!!! I hope everyone is finally feeling better now...and I've already started making alternative plans for Christmas 2008, as I'm sure we wont be invited back next year!! :P
Other than the sickness, we had a great time catching up with the family and the girls just LOVE meeting up with all the cousins, and of course the INDOOR POOL! Grandma and Grandpa were kind enough again this year to put us all up at a local hotel. Its about the only option as all the kids now have at least one baby. I think we had a total of 20 this year (plus 3 dogs!). We were only missing Tammy and her family, as they moved to Arizona this year and were not able to make it back for Christmas. All in all, it was a GREAT weekend! Thanks Jim & Sandi!
