I don't have much to say in this post other than to say sorry we haven't posted for over a week. We've been sick. It's been miserable, but we are just putting one foot in front of the other in the slow trek back to health.
Bekah led it off by throwing up several times early Sunday morning. She looked like she was doing better Monday but then Tuesday she relapsed and we ended up taking her to the ER to get treated for dehydration. She has been better since then but still tossing her cookies about once a day and being generally exhausted. Today it was so sad; she was happily molding her play-do when all of a sudden she lost it all over herself, the play-do, and her play-do utensils. Early Wednesday morning Cara caught Bekah's stomach flu and by that evening she was sent to a packed French Hospital ER to get a shot, normal procedure for her due to her genetic condition that limits how well her body can fight a virus. While waiting at French, Jan (who was watching the girls) called to say that Sadie had just started vomiting. Thankfully, Sadie and Cara are now recovering slowly but surely, and we are especially hoping Bekah turns a corner soon though she has been not doing well tonight. We were hoping to travel up to the San Jose area this next weekend to have an early Christmas with my family and maybe even take the girls to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but it's now up in the air.
I should mention though that Cara and I were able to sneak away Sunday overnight as an early Anniversary celebration, and we had a wonderful time staying in Pismo, going out to eat, and actually going to a movie (Four Christmases was only mildly funny though, in case you were wondering). I'm so glad we had that time before everything went totally crazy.

Oh, no! That is so scary when little ones are sick. We're hoping and praying that you all get to turn the corner very soon.
ugh! i'm glad ours was over thanksgiving so we at least were on a break and it didn't take away from our normal routine!
i hope your family is well soon!
so sorry to hear about the stomach flu. glad you had little getaway before it all started.
It's not totally crazy now???? I hope you are on your way to good health. It's awful when kids get sick and then you get sick and it just keeps spreading for so long. Glad you got off to an Anniversary trip. Hmmm...that means it must be close to Liz and Gregg's anniversary. :) Hope you have an UNsick Christmas with family. See you when I see you.
Baby puke, toddler puke, grown up puke. It all smells the same--nasty. We're glad you're feeling better.
We agree the movie was not as funny as we were hoping...
Hope we can sneak a visit with all y'all when we're up that way for Christmas. Take it easy and enjoy your break!
