Labor Day in Fort Wayne

Last Friday afternoon we packed up and headed North. Josiah was so excited to be going to see Max. He still did not get the concept that Max moved and we can't just see him when ever we like. The 4 hour drive to Fort Wayne was miserable. We made the mistake of leaving after nap time instead of at nap time. Naomi has proved that she is not my favorite travel buddie. She screamed for the better part of 3 hours while signing "all done". About an hour into the trip she threw up all over herself and her car seat. The odor in the car was delightful to say the least. Josiah did fine as usual in the car.

When we arrived at our friends house the kids were so excited to see each other and went right to playing. Naomi was just happy not to be in the car any longer.

Friday night was pretty uneventful and fun. The kids played and stayed up late and we played and stayed up late.

Saturday we lay around playing to Wii and talking for hours and then decided to shower and get ready for the day. At about the time we were all getting ready to go to the park with the kids, Laura started to feel really sick. So Laura, Naomi and I stayed at home. Naomi took a nap and Laura and I sat and talked. She got to feeling really bad. On Sunday morning while we were getting ready for Church Laura decided she was not going to make it to Church. Chris packed her up and took her to the ER. We took care of the kids. We watched a movie in the morning and then made cards for Mrs Laura before lunch. The cards were Greg's idea and a good one at that. After lunch we rode bikes and walked to the local school to play on the playground. The afternoon was spent quietly playing.

Chris and Laura arrived home in the early evening. Laura said she felt much better after several IV's and medication. The good feeling did not last long though. We left on Monday after lunch. This time we travelled at nap[ time and wouldn't you know our little girl did not sleep a wink in the car. She did perfect her, "I want out of this car" scream.

I talked with Laura several times this week and she is still not feeling very good. Even though Sunday and Monday were a little different than we had all planned we had a great time visiting.
