Friday night- we went over to the Hache house for our fantasy football draft party, which was really fun, and we were all having a good time, until... Thomas threw up. It was not fun times, and so we cleaned him up, and drove home.
Saturday- we spent most of the day getting ready for the big party (Don turns 28 & ASU has their home opener). Cleaning, and buying food, and getting all our ducks in a row. People start arriving at 5-ish, and things just got better and better. Everyone had a great time, and big thank yous to everyone in attendance, it was really a fantastic birthday and I enjoyed all the attention and birthday wishes.
Sunday- starting around 2am is when things went really down hill for Don (now one year closer to being an 'old man'), because I got sick; really sick. And it became clear that whatever flu or bug I had was going to just have me wishing for death. I spent most of Sunday in bed, or next to a toilet, and Jenn was able to take care of Thomas, and also Gramma Katie took Thomas for half the day also just so he didn't need to be around all the illness. As the evening approached, Don started feeling better, and Jenn started feeling worse. Sunday night, Jenn got sick (luckily not as bad as Don), and Thomas sent the night at Uncle Steve and Tia Leia's house (thanks God parents).
Monday- Don and Jenn wake up feeling better, not perfect, but better, and we begin our day of recovery. Thank goodness Monday was a holiday and no one had to go to work. I picked Thomas up from the Vernors, and we all spent the day napping, and resting, and just recuperating. Into the evening though, Thomas seemed to be feeling a little upset and had some diarrhea. Currently, we are all either in bed, or going to bed after I post this, so hopefully the Ash family can be healthy this next week so our wonderful blog readers don't have to hear about the flu and such non-fun things.
As a treat, here are pictures and videos (of all the good things), that happened this weekend. Enjoy!
Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend.

This video shows Thomas standing all by himself.
This next video shows Thomas practicing his walking. Please excuse the sideways camera angle.
Happy Birthday! I am so glad you got sick after your party and not before.
ReplyDeleteThat Thomas sure is more handsome in his ASU gear (I didn't even know that was possible!)
Sorry about the side angle on that last video, I didn't know it wouldn't post right. Won't do that again! Hope you enjoyed the rest.
ReplyDeleteTeta loves the pictures and the videos.... Thomas you are growing up too fast and look so handsome standing up and walking. i hope you are all feeling better today.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom Tom! Don't grow very much more before Auntie Allison gets to visit. It's nice that I can watch you grow on the blog but I'd like to see some growing in person. Please save taking your first steps and your first words/sentence for when I come in November. Make sure Mommy and Daddy are teaching you to say "I love Auntie Allison"
