St. Louis

I had a great time in St. Louis. I really LOVE my family and can't see them enough. I feel like I can't quite blog about all of our fun until I have some pictures.... KariAnn is sending me pictures soon, so I'll document it all here soon enough. I can tell you that Liv and Gwen were in Heaven. All 13 cousins were there. We missed David and Megan and of course Brad! And I am going to leave the rest for the pictures!

For anyone who has noticed my gratitude list to the right, you have probably guessed that one of us got sick on the air plane. Well, on our last flight we were coming down into Portland, ME, in practically hurricane weather. The plane was bouncing all over the place and I looked over at Gwen and she was looking really sleepy. It isn't like Gwen to rest her head if there is anything else going on around her. Just in case I pulled out my little complimentary paper bag from the chair in front of me, opened it up, and put it across the aisle and in front of Gwen. Just in time for her to throw up right into it. She repeated it a few times and then Liv looked over with a sympathetic little look and said, "Poor Gwen." Just then, Liv turned green, her face turned to panic, and she threw up just as I tried to catch it in the bag too. So I learned something new. Gwen gets motion sick, and Liv will puke out of sympathy. Thank you airlines for providing me with that nice neat little bag to catch the mess. And Thank you to the airline attendant who picked up the little package we left you.....I'm pretty sure it was all in there, and not on anything else...

How cute, and sad for poor Gwen. I hate being motion sick. And aren't you grateful for your blog where you can document all these little stories you would otherwise forget. I love your new header. The pictures are adorable.

Oh man...we've all been there! Kallie actually waited until we got into the shuttle car that was taking us to our hotel. The shuttle car did NOT have those nice barf bags and to say that she made a big mess would be an understatement. Way to start off a Disneyworld trip right?!?

Oh my goodness! What a story. I'm so glad you were prepared for it.

How sad that had to happen not fun. But glad it was in the bag and not all over them or you. And you now know how to prevent it next time.
