Welcome to Des Moines

What an interesting trip this has proven to be.  All four of us are sick with this nasty cold to some degree.  We left Chicago on Friday much later than we had hoped, and once we got to our hotel in Des Moines, our relief was short-lived when Max threw up all over himself.  This was not some little spit up scenario, but a full-fledged heaving kind of throw up.  I felt so bad for him.

We had stopped for a plethora of medicines at Walgreens on our way to the hotel and as I gave Mason his cough medicine at bedtime, he completely missed his mouth and spilled it all over his blanket and himself.  Sometimes you just have to smile.

My cold has turned into something much closer to a full-fledged sinus infection and Mike is also battling this irritating illness. If we didn't love Kyla so much, I can say this would have been an easy decision to stay home.  On the upside, the hotel we're staying at has an indoor water park complete with a pirate ship that Mason has been more than delighted to explore.  I'll post some pictures after we return home.

The wedding was so much fun on Saturday night.  Kyla looked amazing and we're so happy for her and Lance.  They make a beautiful couple both inside and out.  Today we're going to take the boys over to see them at their house before we watch the Chiefs game with Dad Murrill and have to head home.

Please pray that we'll all start to feel better.  I've been sick over a week now and am concerned how the flight to Washington will go Tuesday if we are still fighting this virus.
