Road Trip Ahead...

This week has been a long week planning and getting ready for our big road trip to Maine. The car is almost all packed as are all of the bags, but the day didn't get off to a good start, starting at midnight last night with Justin. Then Guy had a rough morning with taking some wrong meds and then when Abigail woke up much earlier than usual I knew we were in for trouble. Abigail woke up with a fever that was very persistent and got worse as the day progressed. So at 6pm we headed to the dr., for her first visit other than a well visit and found out she has an ear infection : ( She was so pathetic today and we were so busy dealing with the boys, and Justin's PT and packing, it was really unfair to her but she was as much of a trooper as she could be. So we've decided to postpone the road trip for 24 hours--a good decision since---- Abigail is sick, Guy has had a VERY long week and is also sick, Ryan is getting or has gotten one of the two top teeth that are cutting through and has been sick and Justin hasn't been sleeping through the night, so I'm not sleeping through the night.......

so needless to say it's been a long week. I'm looking forward to vacation, but am apprehensive--I get anxiety just taking all three out around the town, let alone hours away in a car--it's just not an easy thing to do and we're still learning. I'm sure that we will learn lots on this trip, but I hope that we'll look back with many fond memories of our first vacation as a family of five---i'll keep everyone updated!!
