Survivor Style Return

Well Monday was NOT an uneventful travel day... before we even left my parent's house Todd started to feel funny and by the time we hit our layover in Minneapolis he had the full blown stomach full. We pondered taking a bump on our flight for free airline credit and a chance for Todd to rest but thought it would be best if we got home as fast as possible. Turns out that was a good decision because sometime during the flight to LAX I too got the stomach flu. I didn't have the heart to tell Todd because he was so miserable so I struggled through until we pulled into our house late Monday night and then I just hit the floor. Good thing Uncle Ry was travelling with us and was in good form. Veda found a lot of humor in Todd's misery on the plane - mistaking his uncontrollable shakes for some type of game;)

We are all feeling better now. I drove Ryan to the airport late last night so that he could catch a red-eye back home to Japan. It's now back to reality... Veda is exploring all of her toys she hasn't seen for three weeks and I'm sure she will be bored with them by tomorrow. I'm enjoying the quiet time to catch up on work and Todd is taking the week off and laying low - it's nice to have him at home...
Side note... Nana Sayre also fell ill Monday night so whatever we all got was clearly contagious... if you spent time with us recently you might be in trouble!

I was feeling sorry I didn't get to see you while you were here..certainly understood as I know how busy you are trying to make the rounds of family, etc...but I think now I am glad that we didn't have contact. Did you see the girls? We spent more time than usual with them and they were asking if you were home and Ryan also. I hope you all are feeling better soon and that sweet Veda doesn't get it. Happy New year!!! X0, SOS

Sorry we didn't have time to stop by the AA. We really weren't in town during the week and the few days we were I was running around crazy trying to get my xmas shopping done. We'll see you in the spring or summer and will bring new baby Laabs for hugs from Aunt Sue!
