Last Monday around 4:30 PM Angus barfed onto a big pile of legos that were sitting on our rug. Our house is 90% hardwood floors, it is ironic to me that vomit landed on the tiny bit of carpet (rug) we do have. He threw up 3 more times before 7:00 PM, one of which times the stuff landed all over the front of me. The next day he had really high fever, then he got the runs. Those lasted for 4 days, and I must mention that he made it to the toilet every time. Good poop control Angus! Oh and did I mention that my ($50 craigslisted) dryer stopped working in the middle of it all? Oh my heck.
On Thursday I was going batty, so the boys and I hitched a ride with my Mom up to the Cabin on Cascade lake (thank you for taking care of us Mommy). Angus only seemed to get better once we got there, however on Saturday Oscar became stricken with the devil flu. There were a few moments/hours/days where everyone was physically/emotionally healthy, and those times were fabulous! It is so beautiful and calming up there, very re-energizing. I am so grateful for it, and for the people who I share time up there with.
We got a HUGE surprise up there on Saturday night. Julia came home a week early from Thailand! She surprised my Dad earlier that day at his work (kudos to Marn and the Darger clan for helping with the secret). Then they drove up to the Cabin together and surprised us. It is so good to have her home. We really miss her when she is away.

I find it amazing that a flu can travel all the way from Southern Utah and live long enough to get both your boys. Only in this family. :( That sucks! But so glad your week ended on a joyful note with Julia!!
