Holy super bug from Hell!!!

Just when I think it's over,
Just when it should be through,
I find another family member
Curled around the loo.
First twas Adam and Levi
Then Kyle did succumb.
Poor Adam got a second round,
Mostly out his bum!
I finally got the ickies,
In bed a day or two.
And now it's back for Caleb.
I hate this fricken flu!!!!

Just thought this angry post needed a little rhyme and meter. Seriously though, my house has had the stomach flu going on about a month. Just when we're done with it we get it again!!!!

Make us one

Well they did it. The vows have been said and the cake has been eaten. It was a beautiful reception. Honestly much better than I was expecting. I am glad! In my head it was shaping up to be a disaster.
The sealing itself was also very nice. I'm jealous that grandpa Eddie got to seal them. It's so great to have someone who really knows you be the one to perform the ceremony. Not that my guy was bad. We still recall a few of the things that were said in our sealing and so many of them have come to fruition. All of the sealers are blessed with the spirit. It is just extra special to have the person counseling you be family.
The thing that stuck out to me in the sealing was the counsel to become one. It was reiterated over and over: become one, become selfless, your spouse is more important than you are. I have to chuckle at this a little bit. Of course the whole point of marriage is becoming one, but grandpa's counsel seemed tailor made to Clayton and melanie's particular relationship. Good luck my dearies! The first year is usually an... adjustment. Who am I kidding?! It's usually a pretty rough one!
And as for my last horn tooting for setting them up...
TOOT! TOOT! TOOT!

Fricken flu. (round 4)

The flu is out of control right now. It kicked off 3 weeks ago with Levi. Tiny man barfed several times over the course of two days.
Adam got it next. Spurred into action by a six flags ride, the flu caught us unprepared. 4 stops just on the way to the car.
Then a week and a half goes by. Life is quiet. There are no midnight sheet changes. No Pedialite administering needed. Caleb was the lucky one.
I know it isn't only Sacramento. Parker got it 3 hours away. Stupid bug hitch-hiked to Susanville.
Next Jaden. Puke and poop. Poor baby still has it. Most get it for 24 hours. Jaden has had it for 6 people now.
Caleb finally succumbs. A new element greets us. Diarrhea. Yes, the brown monster rears it's runny head.
The circle comes to a close with Adam. Since beginning this post I've been called away twice to pat his back and whisper comfort. He's a tough man. He told me he had it and I could go clean up. Thanks. Guess he's a puke master by now.
I'm exhausted and my babies are all dehydrated. They can't afford the weight they are losing.
Full circle is where things usually end right?
