Thanksgiving

I know, Thanksgiving is soooo over. But I finally decided to download the few pictures I took so here we go!

We made the drive to Utah during what could have been quite a snowstorm, so we were a little nervous. We put new tires on the car and got out of here as fast as we could, and although we did hit some snow, we made good time. We enjoyed a great dinner with a lot of my family. We got lucky and Max took a nap while we ate, and then he woke up right after so we could introduce him to the joys of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing (he already knows all about sweet potatoes and rolls). He quite enjoyed himself.
I am grateful for a lot of things, but Max is my #1. We looooove him!
Snuggling with Max and my sister Kate
The rest of the weekend we spent shopping, watching football, eating (some more), and hanging out with friends. It was great. On Sunday, though, little Max got sick - not so great. For 24 hours he threw up again and again and again. He was starving and always wanted to nurse but every time he did he would just throw it right back up. It was so, so sad to watch my little boy be sick. He just seemed so confused, like "what is happening to me??" He would try to walk and crawl and be his normal self but after a few seconds he would run out of steam and rest his head on the ground. Soooo not like Max.
We did get the benefit of extra cuddling, but Max wanted to do most of his cuddling while being walked around the house. Not so restful for me, but that's ok.
We had to wrap him in towels to be prepared for the next throw up.

On Monday he was still sick but we really had to get back! So we said a prayer, packed up all the towels and containers and pedialite we could, and took off back through the mountains. It wasn't the easiest trip but compared to how it could have gone it was a breeze! Thank goodness.
