The Reason For My Absence

As I sure my five regular readers have noticed, I have been strangely absent from my blog this week. I assure you that it was with good reason.

The family and I made a quick, and rather impulsive trip to Colorado this week. At my sister's suggestion, we decided to surprise my niece by showing up for her fourth birthday. She didn't know we were coming. I wish you could have seen her sweet little face when we pulled into the driveway.

Needless to say, we had a great time. I will post more about our trip in the coming days.

After enjoying several fun-filled days in Colorado, our trip ended on a low note. The boy came down with a horrible stomach bug. He threw up more times than I could count before finally passing out at about 1:30 last night. The boy later informed me that he "barfed fourteen times." Apparently he was keeping track.

Mercifully, the boy felt well enough this morning to eat an orange Popsicle before we headed off to the airport. I will admit that I was worried about how he would feel on the flight back to Nashville. To my delight, he was practically peppy.

The boy is now safely tucked into his own bed, sound asleep. It probably won't belong before I follow suit. Traveling is always so much fun, but oh, does it ever make me tired.
