It's been over a week since I've done an entry. We've been busy trying to get germs out of our house. Karis started throwing up early Saturday morning. She stopped by about 10am, but was worn out the rest of the day. Eric and Rob came over Sunday night to watch the game. Ben started throwing up around 9pm, and not because the Eagles lost to the Bears. He finally stopped throwing up around 5am Monday morning. He slept much of the day away.
Monday night, Cris and Cheryl, Ben's uncle and aunt, arrived. The had been planning to visit since we found out that we were moving to Wisconsin because they wanted to attend Oktoberfest. They never got there because they both got sick. Since it start within 12 hours of their arrival, we think they brought it with them. Cheryl was sick most of the day Tuesday, and Cris had a sore throat and a fever Wednesday. They left early this morning. I'm sad to say that this is my only picture of them. I'm happy to say that they are both feeling better.
One not-so-sick moment from the week... Karis is enjoying her swimming lessons. She is putting her head under water and looks forward to going every Wednesday. Amazingly, I have managed to stay healthy this week. I hope this is not my famous last words.
Ben took me away Friday night to Saturday to celebrate my birthday. Jeni came over to watch Karis while we were on our trip. What a blessing she is to Karis and us! We went to Rochester for dinner and then headed to Minneapolis. During our 24 hour get-away, we were able to do some Christmas shoppping and see a little bit of the city.
Karis's gift to me... these two cool pairs of Halloween socks. I can't wait to wear them to work! Today we went to Applebee's to get a brownie sundae. We were pretty worn out from our trip. Plus, Ben taught today at church.
