My first trip to Canada...woohoo. Went up for Kylie's wedding and it was beautiful...the wedding and the city. Mike and I flew up on Thursday and came back on Monday. Quite a long time to be away from your kiddos. We definitely enjoyed some relaxation, but were quite ready to get home and assume the roles of Mom and Dad. :)

We had the wedding Friday night and a dinner on Saturday. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures from the wedding. I can't believe I didn't. What was a I thinking? I can't wait to see the photographers pics. Everything was so amazing that I know the pictures will be unreal. Here are some pics from Saturday night and our trips around the town. Quebec is a walking city. We stayed at a castle for 2 nights and a hotel outside of the city walls for 2 nights. Very cool!!

Before we left for Quebec, I got the stomach bug. I was sick for at least a week and then couldn't eat for about three more days after that. It was a rough couple of days here in Birmingham caring for the munchkins while BOTH of us were handling stomach bug symptoms. Mike's immune system must be WAY better than mine(not saying that much there) because he only had it for about 24-36 hours. I got it the Wednesday (a week) before we left and was still feeling under the weather when our plane departed. Unfortunately, the kids(who never exhibited symptoms) took the bug home to my parents while they were keeping them. Mom came down with the bug on Saturday night and still had to keep them all day Sunday. Priscilla came in for some reinforcements on Sunday night and kept them Monday and then came down with the bug herself. This is one tough virus. I just hope we don't see it again anytime soon!!

I seem to catch EVERYTHING. Any other moms out there have any suggestions. I don't think I have ever been this slow to recover from things as I have since getting pregnant with Kaitlyn. I am now taking a multivitamin and fish oil. Any other suggestions on how you stay well with little "carrier monkeys" running around.
