Weekend in Alabama

About a week ago, we spent the weekend in Alabama visiting Jerod's Aunt Janice and Uncle Jimmy. They were celebrating 50 years of marriage - a huge accomplishment, and definitely worth a big family gathering. It was not a smooth trip for us, though. I dislocated my toe (tripped over a suitcase), and Sawyer woke several times during the night crying - not sure where he was, and also getting a cold. I finally connected to streaming white noise online (what did we do without Wi-Fi?), and we all got a few hours of sleep. Parker spent the night for the first time ever with his Nonnie in her room, and he did great. They had a blast sneaking around the hotel pretending to be secret agents. When we got home, Sawyer spiked a fever and threw up. Poor little guy. It seems to happen almost every time we travel.

Oh, my toe? I took some Advil, drank a beer, and Jerod popped it back in place. Yeouch.
