A Bumpy Ride

At last! A posting about our trip to Boston. Wait a minute .... where are all the pictures? No photos of Cece with her grandparents or from the barbecue at Amy's house with the old Starbucks gang? Did the camera break? Well, yes but unfortunately it's a little worse than that.


On the second day of the trip Cece came down with a nasty stomach virus. We wound up in the emergency room. Twice. To make matters worse, Mommy got it, then Daddy, then Auntie Sheree, then Uncle Al, then Christina and Sheree's sister. While most of us fought it off in 24 hours, Cece had it the entire trip. After 10 days of what Daddy describes as "throwing and going" Cece finally had solid food and milk again once we got back home.


We were able to see a few friends but not all our loved ones. Mommy and Daddy took turns staying in with Cece to try and stay on track with visiting. But everyone really wanted to see Cece who was terribly contagious. Aside from all the disappointment, we were so proud of our little girl. She proved that she is one tough cookie and can keep smiling in the face of adversity.


The true heroes of this story were Auntie Sheree and Uncle Al. Imagine having sick guests in your home for a week and a half. Oh, and hosting a graduation party of 200 people and trying to keep your son healthy who is in the middle of a state baseball championship series. Then, getting sick on top of it all! They never once let us feel anything but loved and welcomed. Thanks you guys. We love you very much.


And to all the faithful followers of the Cece’s blog – thank you! Often when we have delays between postings we find out about folks who read the blog that we didn’t know about. We love to hear about all Cece's fans! We promise to keep up the best we can.


Okay, Cece. Fasten that seatbelt because we have a fun summer ahead and before you know it ... you will be 2! Flight attendant! We need little bottles of mommy juice over here please!
