Halloween 2010

For Halloween this year we took the kids to our church’s Harvest Festival. Hannah was a “Care Bear” and Eli was a “Giraffe”. As for Patrick and I….well we just ate all their candy!…One of the many perks of having children.

If you know Hannah well enough, you know the “Care Bear” costume was very appropriate for her. She loves bears.

He really was the SWEETEST Giraffe I ever saw…

Swine Flu Road Trip I (video)

Day one went well. We are trying to have as much fun along the way as possible. We are stopped at a La Quinta in Moline, Illinois. Here’s a quick (low-quality) video recap:

‘Till tomorrow!

Swine Flu Road Trip (pt 1)

Patrick — Fri, 01 May 2009 14:57:57 +0000

We were supposed to fly from Michigan this morning through Dallas and then on to Denver. Because of the devastation of the Swine Flue we decided to make it a road trip instead. We would be fly if it was just us but:

It isn’t worth the small risk of getting Hannah sick. If she did get sick and something happened, we would regret it forever. It just not worth it.
Sarah is supposed to work tonight and Sunday. If she caught something on the flights home she wouldn’t know for 2-5 days. During that time the possibility of spreading the virus to new-born babies and other people at the hospital would be high. That’s not respectable to the hospital or the patients.

So we’re leaving Livonia in about 30 min. Hopefully we’ll be able to update our journal on the way. Pray for safety!

Swine Flu Hits Michigan

Patrick — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:15:16 +0000

On Monday (April 27th) We left Denver to fly to Detroit and had to fly through Dallas on the way. The people in front of us were flying home from Mexico. News todays has reported that the Swine Flu has hit Michigan with people flying from Texas. It looks like the odds are high that we may be carriers! Ed was scared with this news so he started wearing a mask around the house.

[Update]: Inside Edition has just reported It’s Spreading!(4:33pm EST)
