Spring break around here was nothing near a break. I think we actually need some spring weather so we can open up our windows and clear the air of germs! It seems we have had strep, vomiting and diarrhea, fevers, rashes and viruses, coughs, colds, back to more vomiting and diarrhea to draining eyes in the last three weeks! It managed to affect both John and I as well. The Druelle family decided to visit us over spring break. Ironically, every time we make plans to visit/see the Druelle family, there seems to be something that gets in the way. Let's see, Abby threw up in the van on the way to our house...turn around and try for another weekend...Kate vomiting on and off all week, think we'll try another weekend...Alexa's baptism, wait, Jack has strep Friday afternoon and we are leaving for Michigan on Saturday...Spring break trip to Indiana...oh, the Druelle van won't start Saturday morning...it's loaded with five days of clothes. But, no one is vomiting (yet). Well, they made it to our house anyway after a quick battery fix and although Jack and I had coughs and colds, they came to visit anyway. Too bad on Monday I went to get Elizabeth from her nap and she had vomited everywhere. What?! We just finished with all the vomiting last week, could we possibly get it all again?! Julie decided to cut the trip short on that note (can you blame her?) and left on Tuesday. Good thing, Anna was vomiting on Wednesday...and so was Julie's youngest, Abby. Julie's older kids, Braden and Ambria, followed the trend and were vomiting the next morning. And my Kate has diarrhea. We can't keep them all healthy at once! Julie and I joke that when we plan a trip to each other's house, it is planning a stomach virus, and sadly, it keeps coming true! Anyway, the visit was nice, even if some of the kids were under the weather some, but unfortunately, I got both Jack's terrible cough/cold virus and what I think was my version of the stomach virus mixed together so I didn't have too much energy for pictures. I stole some from Julie's blog. Sorry for the parting gift, Druelle family.

We finished out the week resting. Today, we took Jack to a Tin Caps game. Jack was good throughout the whole game. He loved the popcorn! He also ran the bases after the game which was really cute. I, again, forgot my camera, darn! The weather was finally cooperative. It was a beautiful afternoon/evening for a baseball game.
