Stomach Flu

We finished September with a bout of stomach flu.  Both Matt and Claire got hit with the bug, poor guys.  Thank goodness for both of them it only lasted a couple days.

After a  huge initial vomit, Claire continued to throw up a little bit intermittently throughout the day.  The trash can was helpful to have nearby.   She would go right back to convalescing on the couch, watching cartoons, and was quite the trooper!

Just a moment in time of a day in the life of our family.

Theater room in action

Birthday party for Luke at the climbing wall, he did great!

Fun and beautiful hike at Fort Sheridan on Saturday

Claire wasn't feeling well enough for walking, so she got to ride in the stroller for the first time in a loooong time.

Too sick to walk, but not too sick to play in the sand at the beach

Luke needed a haircut badly so Matt just went ahead and gave him one!

Boy Scout alert!  His uniform is so adorable

 Luke and Dad sold popcorn at the local Jewel

Cutest picture of all time.  Matt said he did great selling popcorn to everybody walking by.

Claire and I painted in the sun on the front driveway while the popcorn sellers were away
