Washington trip

fun at Pikes Market

Santa, Emma and a not very happy Von

Mom and Dad flew us to Washington for a long weekend. I have some anxiety flying anyways.... Add Von to the mix and I thought my head was going to explode!! I couldn't sleep at night the week before and my cat Fido got into a cat fight and ended up with a abscess over his right eye. Chris had to take the cat to a vet the day before we left and they said $500.00 to fix him. Chris said no and they gave us some antibiotics.. we decided if it didn't work we would have to put him down. It was very sad.. The morning we left the abscess popped and it was a mess. I cleaned it the best I could and left him in the house. I have a great friend that watches our house/animals for us, she took great care of Fido and he is all better!!! He has a bald patch over his eye, but his eye is open now and it doesn't look infected. I think he has 3 more lives left in him!!

Von flew like a champ! At the take off he had a smile on his face, it was almost like "I like this and at the same time I'm not quite sure about it" but he did great! It was great to see our family! the kids are so funny and getting so big.. They already have teenager emotions running through them! We mostly just hung out at home, we took the city bus into Seattle Friday and then the commuter train home. It was fun to walk around. Pikes place is always fun... but the same stuff is always there! Still we had a great time. The town my family lives in is a older smaller town. They had a Santa in town, the was no line!!! We all took pictures with Santa.. Von was not a fan of him!! But he got a candy cane out of the deal....

We came back on Sunday, we get through security, the stroller is checked to make sure we are not packing a bomb... I have Von in my arms and I feel wet all down my arm.. Well his diaper leaked!! Perfect timing..... All in all our trip home was good.

It was nice to be home and back in our king size bed!!
