Sorry, but this post won't have pictures in it. I will get to it hopefully in the near future! But I thought I better fill you in on the happenings of the last 2 weeks.
The last two weeks have been crazy busy and have not quite gone as planned. Two weeks ago today, the boys and I traveled to California with my parents. (Andy was to fly on Friday after work.) But Andy didn't make his flight. The weekend before we were all to leave, Andy came down with the flu. I was working that weekend and trying to get us all ready to go. Alex had had the flu a week or so before, so I was a bit annoyed at our situation (Andy not being able to help with the boys). In fact, he was so sick on Sunday, I called Mom at 4:30 in the morning and asked if she could come watch the boys while I worked and Andy slept. She made the hour and a half drive and stayed with us until I got home. Andy was still feeling a bit sick to his stomach, but felt better after sleeping. He went to work the next day while I hurriedly cleaned and started getting organized to pack. Andy's mom, Donna, came Monday night and stayed on Tuesday so I could pack (and she could see the boys before they left). Well, Andy was still hurting when he got home from work on Tuesday night and agreed we'd better have it checked out.
Long story short, he had his appendix removed (which had burst) at 4am on Wednesday, I flew out with the boys and my parents at 3:30pm that same day. Donna graciously stayed for the next few days and took care of Andy and the house. I thank God she was there! I don't think I've ever made a tougher decision when I left my husband in the hospital to fly 2000 miles away! God's timing is perfect. Since we did fly out, we left Andy a quiet house to rest and recover. When we returned, Andy was working full days and feeling normal.
It was definitely NOT the vacation that Andy or I had planned. But I guess now we can plan another one later in the year! Or at least I hope so. :)
Pictures of our trip to CA will be coming in the near future....!!

Wow! I'm glad to hear Andy is okay and that would be a tough decision to leave while your husband is ill. But I'm sure the quiet house was better for him to get some rest. I hope you are able to make the trip later on in the year!
