Saturday night we all finally found a little time to sit down and play a game. We became obsessed with Monopoly Deal after the Izatt's introduced us to it, so we broke out our new set and taught it to the family. The supposedly twenty minute game took an eternity so unfortunately we only got to play one round; especially for Sam who said he would sit out the first game so he could eat some pie. I am also sad to report that my perfect winning streak was ruined because Robby had a 'just say no card' when I was about to win and then Connie just handed Janet the game a little bit later. Such a shame.
Sunday the majority of the group moved back on with their lives. Sam flew back to Utah so he could study for his test on Monday and get back into school mode. Robby and I stayed with the little girls till Thursday. It was the first time Sam and I have been apart since we got married almost five years ago. He sent me multiple text messages, almost all of them complaining that he was starving without me there to make his food. I laughed when he finally sent me a picture of the scale showing he had lost 4 pounds in the 4 days we were apart. How he is still alive? I have no idea.Bailey managed to pass on her stomach plague to my Mom, Dad and Rachel. They spent the better part of 3 days barfing up a storm. We tried to take over the walking Rex detail. Apparently adding a dog to our two little girls walk was much harder than I anticipated. Good thing my Dad showed up towards the end of it to save me.
Of course we got our chicken salad deli sandwich, toppers pizza, and akios sushi fix; it wouldn't be a true trip home if we hadn't. And then in a blink of an eye we were headed back to the airport to return home to our Sam. Bailey was once again an angel on the flight. She stole a few jelly beans from the guy sitting next to her. Good to know she will take candy from a stranger. We will have to work on that. Hazel on the other hand had the biggest crying fit of her life. I tried to calm her down and for five minutes I had the hardest time soothing her. After she let out the biggest burp (it shocked the lady sitting next to me) she was calm enough to feed. She ate a full feeding and as soon as I sat her up she burped it all up - over me. Then she fell fast asleep, didn't make a peep the rest of the flight, and woke up as happy as a clam as soon as the plane landed. Sitting in a lot of baby spit up for two hours with no room to clean it up is not fun, but mostly worth it if the baby stops crying.
We haven't been home long at all and I am already counting the days until we can go back. Thank you so much for letting us come Mom and Dad. It was great seeing you. We love you so much. And sorry we got you sick.
