What's Up

My parents left yesterday to go back to California. They were here almost 2 weeks and we spent a whole of time doing nothing. The main reason was because a few days after they arrived, my Mom came down with a bad case of the flu. Then just as soon as she started to feel a little bit better I came down with it. Today is the first day I woke up without a fever. But the cough and sinus congestion is still terrible. Hopefully no one else gets it.

My dad spent his days tinkering around our house. While he was here he built Micah's pinewood derby car, fixed our outdoor fountain, fixed our back slider, got our front window to slide more smoothly, put the front back on Naomi's dollhouse, got our bike's working again, cleaned our windows, cleaned the guinea pig's cage, helped Jacob with homework, read numerous books to Naomi and shredded a ton of papers for me!

The weather was not great the whole time they were here but my dad did get a few bike rides in to the beach. When my mom was feeling better she even got on a bike and rode around a bit.

Tuesday night we went to our adoption agency, HIC, to talk to some families who are thinking about adopting from Africa. John, Kelly and Max were there too and it was fun for my parents to meet everyone who helped us adopt our beautiful daughter.

Friday, even though I wasn't feeling good, we headed out to the Aquarium since my parents were leaving the next morning. My parents enjoyed it and then we had a good dinner at Big Kahunas. I went straight to bed when we got home while my parents packed up.

It wasn't too bad saying goodbye because we will be seeing them again in about 3 months. That is when the kids and I will be saying "Aloha" to the beautiful island of Oahu. We are then going to be living with my parents until October.

I am hoping that the worst of my sickness is over and I will keep getting better a little each day.
