Upcoming Events

Tuesday night, we spent several hours awake with Cailan while he was throwing up. Poor kid. Luckily, I guess, he’s not very experienced at it yet; that means no going to the toilet or even using a bowl for him, just me right beside him with a big pile of cloth diapers trying to catch everything that comes out. By the morning he seemed fine: bright-eyed and full of energy, though Chris and I were worn out not sleeping. We speculated that maybe the milk he’d had had gone bad…

Last night, I went to dinner after work with some of my co-workers. At the restaurant, I got a call from Chris “Can you come home please? I feel really, really bad.” So I came home and gave Cailan his dinner while Chris huddled in a miserable ball on the bed. We started thinking that a stomach bug is going around, and I feel like a ticking time bomb.

But this morning, we’re all feeling okay, so we are loading up the Subaru and heading to Salida for a long weekend. We have to get out of the house, because we are getting the white carpet in the dining room (such a bad idea with a 2-year-old in the house) replaced with a hardwood floor to match the kitchen! The crew tore out the carpet and installed the subfloor yesterday; over the weekend they will put in the floor, sand, and finish it. We’ll stay in a rented cabin with Grandma Bobbie, and on Saturday she’ll play with Cailan while we ride the Monarch Crest trail. Woo-hoo!
