(July 6, 2010)

Uncle Paul came up for a visit on his summer break. We hung out the first few days he was here, then we were all hit with some virus that nearly killed us all. Paul had it the worst, but we were all out of commission for at least 24 hours. Luckily, the kids were spared from the horrible illness we caught. Kevin caught it first, but was probably the least sick. 3 hours later I was down, and within 3 hours Paul was down. It was kind of odd how it hit us all. We spent all Monday recovering, and Tuesday ventured out. We headed to Seattle to show Paul some sights. We parked by Kevin’s work, and then had to hike a ways to get to the market. Pushing a stroller with 2 kids after being seriously ill, up hills,  was not the brightest of my ideas. We took a walk through the market and then headed back. That was about all the strength we had.

We met up with Kevin for some dinner at Johnny Rockets, although Paul and I were still not up to eating very much. Then we headed for home. We checked the mail along the way and found a letter for Jameson from Grammy Brazell. She sent a present from Alaska. We thought she would like to see Jameson’s reaction.

In case you didn’t catch it, she sent an “Alaskan Ice Worm” which was a strip of hair with some eyes glued on it. Don’t worry, Jameson defeated it.

And on to Ella…

like I said earlier, she can roll about 95% of the way over. She can’t get her arms out, so she gives up and rolls back.

So close!
