Quick Update

Just a quick note telling all y'all what we've been up to. I'll go into more detail later...

On July 7, David, Daniel, and I flew out to Salt Lake for a Nash family reunion, which was a lot of fun at a fantastic venue. At the end of that week I went down to my sister DeeAnn's in Nephi, along with my sister Lisle visiting from Reno, then on Sunday went to my brother Nate's in Maptleton. Monday we all met with my sister Minda visiting from just south of Carson City, NV and my brother Sean in from CT. We went swimming at a pool in Spanish Fork. That was a fun, impromptu little reunion.

Tuesday the boys and I flew up to Washington to spend some time with Nathan's family. Daniel got yet another ear infection when we got to Washington, but he's been medicated and that seems to be on the mend. He's scheduled to get tubes on Aug 6. Meanwhile, David got his throw-up bug two nights ago, and Daniel threw up last night. Sarah's daughter Sophia (2 years old) is giving us signs that she'll join the party sometime today, too. That gets a little trickier to manage since Sophia is diabetic, and just giving her clear fluids throws her sugar levels out of whack. We're trying hard to keep Jane (6 months) out of the fray, and all the kids are staying downstairs with the carpet that cleans up easier...just in case. We've also got towels and blankets spread over all the furniture (David inducted the sofa yesterday, naturally in the 3 minutes I left his side to go upstairs and ask Bethany a question). Happy times. David and Daniel seem to be feeling dandy now, so we're hoping it's a quick bug for Sarah's sake. She flies back to Boise tomorrow, and then is driving down to Utah for a Parry reunion.

Nathan just arrived in Washington last night (yay!) and leaves early tomorrow morning (*sniff sniff*) for Canada to go fishing with his Dad, Scott. They'll get home Saturday evening, and we all fly home Monday morning.

Gotta run!
