My Trip to Virginia

 Zach DeShetler just got home in January from a 6 month deployment to Africa. I went to Virginia to watch the boys so that Paige and Zach could take a little vacation, just the 2 of them, to reconnect and have a break after such a long deployment. I absolutely LOVE taking care of these boys and was super happy to help out. Unfortunately there was a LOT of puking. About every 2 days another boy started throwing up. I think I handled it quite well and we ended up still having a fun time together but man...why do kids always puke at night? You get absolutely NO sleep because they are throwing up every 30 minutes or so. Poor kids, I felt so bad for them but luckily each boy only threw up for about 10 hours and I'm VERY glad all 4 didn't throw up at the same time! Paige and Zach totally owe me a trip to Guam to visit when they move this summer 😆

Graham reading a story to his brothers. It is rare all 4 of them are quietly sitting together, I had to get proof!

The last night I was there Paige, Zach and Remy and I played a game all together after the little boys went to bed. Paige and I both hate games that take an hour to explain all the rules but we relented because Remy is so cute and we can't resist his request for us to play:)

I got together with Christine Watkins (my brothers ex-wife) for some lunch at a Buffalo themed restaurant in Virginia before I flew home

The beef on weck was super yummy. It was fun to get a little taste of home as well as catch up with Christine and see how she is doing.
