Our Vacation (or whatever you want to call it)

For all of you have may have been just a little envious that we were going on vacation and getting away from the cold....you have nothing to be envious of. We are still not home, but I wouldn't exactly call it a vacation.

We started out in San Francisco and met Dave at the airport. He landed a little bit before us. Gary picked us up and we were off to see Dani, Makenzie and Zach. We had a great day and were looking forward to going into the city and visiting an aquarium with the kids but....then Hope woke up and wasn't feeling well. We decided to stay in...good thing we did...it ended up being the stomach flu..YUCK! We tried to keep everyone away and clean everything. We didn't want anyone else to get sick especially baby Zach (he is only 9 weeks old). However...after I started not feeling so well we were going to leave the next day..and then Isaiah got it that night!! So we packed up the next morning and knew we had to get out of there. So...where did we go?? The only place we know so well....Valencia!!

We were excited to come here and maybe catch up with our friends....but we have been on quarantine ever since we got here. On our drive down...which is about 5 1/2 hours...1 mile before we reached our hotel...Isaiah got sick all over the car. Then later that night Hope and Isaiah were sick all over the hotel. Then....my Mom got it...Dave's mom got it....and I kind of got it. So we are all waiting for Dave to get it.

We were going to fly out as soon as everyone got better...but now we are wondering if we should just make our vacation here?? What is the rush to get back to freezing cold weather?? We haven't decided yet....but we need to decide before tomorrow morning!! :)

Hope you are all in good health.

Some prayer requests:
1. That we all get over this nasty flu and get healthy asap....And pray that nobody else gets it from us.
2. Please pray for Dave's Aunt Sue. She is 80 years old (but you would never know it)! She is in the hospital because of a bad reaction to medicine which turned into double pneumonia.
3. Please pray for baby Zach. He has a chest x-ray tomorrow because of some sounds he makes when he is breathing. Pray that everything comes back normal.
4. Please pray for Makenzie who ended up getting a bladder infection after we left...poor thing.
