No photos tonight folks!! Dad and I worked at the temple Friday night and Saturday. Got home around 8:30 - after stopping off for dinner at Cafe Merengue and going to the grocery store. We came home to pretty empty shelves and fridge - and I hadn't gotten much this week - just bread, milk, and fruit. So when we entered the store, Dad said, "Well, we can probably just go up and down the aisles and throw stuff in the cart since we are out of everything!"
We unloaded the car, put the grocs away and got ready for bed. "We had just settled ourselves for a long winter's nap" when the phone rang!! Harry wanted Dad to come over to help him give Dawn a blessing. She was sick and throwing up - and the little boys were too.
The phone rang again, and Harry suggested I come too.
So off we went. Things were not quite as bad as I had been anticipating, because Baby Harry had fallen asleep, and Porter seemed calm. The baby was sleeping too. Margery and Eve were asleep in the guest room - and they didn't awaken all night - so we weren't too noisy either.
But Porter got sick again - and several more times. But what a good little sick guy he was. He was very co-operative and tried hard to understand what was going on. This a.m. when his tummy still hurt - we assumed from being empty - he was a bit afraid to eat for fear it would all come up again. Which it did!! But he's fine now. He awoke several times in the night, so I slept in Eve's bed while Harry took care of Dawn and Isla upstairs. Dad went home to sleep about 2:30. He came and got Eve for church in the a.m. I stayed until about 11:30, when it appeared that things were finally settling down and under control.
Last I heard, Mom, Mary and Donna had come by to visit. Mom was enjoying visiting with Margery. Dawn was up and feeling pretty chipper. And Isla appeared to be none the worse for wear. Porter and Harry were happy campers once more. We'll let you know how it goes.
Greg had family in town - so it was Dad, Noah and me for dinner - I'd planned on stroganoff, since it's a fave of Dawn's. So we had it. I can always make it again next week.
We managed to eat all the chocolate mousse with raspberries by ourselves. We are a resourceful lot!!
Dad and I both had loooong naps this afternoon. Hopefully we can sleep okay tonight!!
What a blessing good health is. And the power of priesthood blessings. Have a good week - that's number one on my agenda!
