The morning of our flight home, Chris woke up early (we think he has issues with sleeping before long flights) around 2:30 feeling VERY unwell. Needless to say the flight was pretty bad for him. He ended up sick in the airplane bathroom. Those things are so small! At least it helped him feel a little better. When we got off the plane Landon was so excited to be home. He did a dance in the airport while we waited for our luggage and in the taxi ride home he couldn't stop saying "we're going to Landon's house!" After our six hour flight all of us were pretty hungry, so I made some spaghetti (at Landon's urging) and Chris crashed into bed. We all slept late on Saturday. The boys started coughing that day, and by bedtime Sam had a fever. On Sunday we decided to stay home from church again. Sam fever was higher, Landon's coughing was getting worse and Chris was still feeling under the weather. I decided not to infect our ward with our germs, so we stayed in our PJ's and tried to rest for the day. Monday started out better. Chris was feeling much better and Sam's fever was mostly gone. By evening Sam had a minor cough, but that's about it. However Landon had picked up the fever, so we drugged up the boys with some Tylenol cold and put them to bed. It's been like this all week. Landon's fever is gone finally today, but both boys are still coughing and have runny noses. Let's hope we don't acquire anything worse, like ear infections. I hate taking them to the doctor! I REALLY HATE working with health insurance companies!!!

The Sicknesses We Have
I know you've heard all about the up-chucking that has been going on in our family...but you really haven't heard it all. Just for FUN I'm going to tell you more! I know you want to hear it!

Chris took this "lovely" picture Sunday morning to help me illustrate just how we were feeling.

I'm so sorry about all the sickness. Shawn has told me several times that even going from the East to West you have to get use to different bacterias, not only foreign countries.
What patience. That's the point where I wonder if "vacation" is worth it.
Man! That is really the pits! I'm so sorry that you guys have been under the weather- hope that you all start feeling better soon!
Oh NO! I can relate!!! We've all got it too! YUCK! It just goes around and around and around... we are just waiting for the "light at the end of the tunnel". I will be so glad when we all feel better. Hope you all are feeling better too.
I'm glad you guys are starting to feel better! I love the story about "Landon's house!" hehe. what a little character.
