The weekend before Thanksgiving, we visited my parents in Michigan City to have a turkey dinner. My mom made a great meal, but unfortunately, Rachael had been sick for a few days, and spread it to the rest of us. I have learned that parenthood brings lots of opportunity to be vomited on...Mike, the champion eater, couldn't even look at the food! My friend Andrea came by to visit which was great. I felt sick too, but sucked it up so I could enjoy some turkey and time with Andrea and my family. I didn't feel so well the next day, and slept most of it away. Sadly, we also spread it to my parents who had to delay their trip to North Carolina by a day. I guess sharing yucky stomach viruses is just part of being a family, right?
Luckily, we were feeling better for our trip to Seattle! Rachael took her first flight over the Thanksgiving holiday, and she is an amazing little traveler. Since I hate flying, it helped to be able to focus on Rachael instead of thinking about the flight. Rachael had no problems with take off or landing. We gave her a bottle, and she didn't seem to have any issues with the change in air pressure. She slept too, which made the trip much easier for us all. We had a great time in Seattle. Rachael enjoyed all the toys that Marjean had collected for her. We spent time with Joe and Lee (Mike's brother and his wife) and their "ga" (dog) Yoshi. Rachael hasn't quite got the word for dog mastered, so she points and says "ga". I guess she recognizes the difference between da-da and dog is the "g" sound. We look forward to our next visit somewhere now that we know Rachael enjoys traveling! The pictures are of Rachael with her Grandpa (my dad) and with Mike's brother Joe, sister-in-law Lee, and Rachael's 'cousin' dog Yoshi.
