The flu.

The flu hit the Bartlett household hard at the end of the week. Wednesday afternoon Russ called to say he was coming home because he wasn't feeling good. I will spare you the details but by Thursday morning we were all feeling crummy and were couch bound. Blake and I were back to normal by Friday and Russ is finally starting to feel back to normal. I don't think I have ever seen him so sick and miserable. It was not fun and I'm thankful to have my husband back now. We unfortunately missed out on a lot of fun things that were planned for the weekend. But oh well, what can you do. Just glad we mostly are back to normal!

Now it's time for me to get packing because Blake and I take off for Virginia on Wednesday to meet my new nephew and hopefully see some sights of DC! I am a little nervous about flying by myself across the country with a one-and-a-half-year-old. I've stocked up on coloring/sticker books, a new little car and some other fun things he can do in a confined space for 4 hours including iPad aps and a few Sesame Street and Backyardigans episodes. Hope all that and some snacks will keep him occupied.

The next time you hear form me I'll most likely be posting from Virginia!
