It Doesn't Get Any Better



Well........................the ten day trip to Fresno started out a little rocky. We flew in for Tanner's baptism, but by the evening of our arrival, Tanner, Emery and Carsen were are on the floor with their own throw up bowls. By morning Shelly was sick and Jeremy started throwing up at 6:00 a.m. What a day.............................Five Crowleys moaning and groaning on the floor. It was awful. The baptism was to be the next day, but had to be postponed.
By Sunday all was well and the baptism was wonderful. Phew! Tanner was beaming and beautiful. There was a crowd in the room just for Tanner. Tanner's Grandmas gave the prayers, his daddy baptized him and Grandpa Crowley and Uncle Brad gave the talks. Very nice......
By the next day both Grandma's were throwing up as well as Uncle Brad and Shelly's cousin. Crazy. Fortunately the bug was only a 24 hour thing. The good thing...............Becca, Shelly's sister was in town for the baptism and she fixed everyone's hair. So we did get sick, but our hair was really cute.
Amazingly Grandpa Crowley never got the bug. Inspite of the bug we had a great time with the Fresno Crowleys. They are a sweet family and those kids are beautiful. They are such a good example of good for all of us.
We flew home on Sunday and good boy Andrew picked us up at 11:30. ...........................then on to Culpeper. We fell into bed about 1:00 a.m. Isn't it nice -- we didn't have to get up and go to work. Life is Good.

Ugh. Sick families are so hard! That's a great family pic. Sounds like a wonderful time together - besides the sickies!

Loved finding YOUR blog Andrea! So sweet to see you and Rich with your beautiful family. We miss you guys so much! How many inches of snow do you have by now?? Doug's painfully jealous. We've had more of a VA winter than a UT winter. Love you Andrea!
