Finally home and feeling better!!!!

Yeah!!! We are finally home from the holidays AND feeling better. We all enjoyed our trip home. Two weeks was a long time, but we had a lot of fun. We did not take a lot of pictures, but made many memories. Uncle Mark and Aunt Kayla were sick a couple days before Christmas, then Daddy got sick Christmas Eve, Mommy got sick Christmas day, Grandpa Russ got sick a couple days after Christmas, and then Grandma Mary got it last. The only one who did not get sick was Carter!!!! Our flights went very well and we arrived back at home safe and sound on January 1st. It took us a little while to get back into our routine and then last week, Daddy had to take Mommy to the ER very early in the morning because she got Mastitis. For those of you who don't know, Mastitis is a breast infection that made Mommy have flu like symptoms, chills, headache, and it really hurt to nurse. She also got very weak and it was hard to take care of Carter. Daddy stayed home one day with her and then finally a couple days ago she started to feel a lot better. It was an awful experience and so far everything is going okay. We are starting to look at houses out here, but are not in a hurry. We want to make sure we have the house that is for us. We really enjoyed our vacation and thank everyone for their patience with us while we recovered (some people kept reminding us that we had not posted any recent photos...GRANDMA MARY!!!). :) Take care and talk to everyone soon!
