Gone again, back again

** We interrupt your program of Europe stories and pictures to bring you a real-time update **

The few days after coming back home from Europe were a whirlwind. We were recovering from jetlag and culture shock, and as we were unpacking we were re-packing for our camping trip for the weekend. The Sackinger Family Reunion (Stephen's mom's family), affectionately called "Sack Camp". Camping for the weekend with 30 of your closest family. Normally lots of fun. But camping with a toddler? Not so fun. She refused to sleep much of the night, and it took us an extra 2 1/2 hours to get home yesterday because she was so miserable and screaming much of the time. It only took us 5 hours to figure it out, but it turns out she had a low grade fever and some bad gas. Finally - FINALLY - she slept the last hour of the trip.

But now we're back home again and not planning any other major trip soon. Whew!!!

Gosh! I'm sorry to hear it was such a tuffie for you. Except for the part about not being able to attend SackCamp, I guess I had it really easy.

I bet Catherine has grown a bundle and a half since SackCamp. I miss watching her grow up. She's really beautiful right now, at least takes amazing pix. Or is that you, Brie, making everything look so good?

Keep the blog. I'm enjoying reading it.
