I was poisoned by nachos...but now there's only one more day to go!!

Well, after 12 hours of vomiting and 12 hours of recovering, I am pleased to report that I am feeling much better--with better being a relative term. Today is our last day...and for me, it cannot pass fast enough. Maybe I am just bitter about being poisoned by nachos (a sacred food). Or maybe I just miss my tempurpedic mattress. But you know you are almost crazy when going to a third world country's airport (with an infant) sounds better than another day at the Marriot. One more deep fried meat cigar (small tortillas stuffed with mystery meat, wrapped, then fried) and I am going to kill someone.

So, today we start packing and count the hours to noon tomorrow when our shuttle to the airport leaves. I am willing to pass the time by any means necessary...dreaming about what food I will eat this weekend, Aden's first trip to the doctors on Friday, lots o' champagne with Tori, Bill and Jess, and our first play date with baby Julian and the Carrington Street crew. Of course, I already spend way too much time dreaming about our reunion with Nugget (our 85 lb golden dog-child).

More pictures below. Aden had peaches for the first time today. the picture speaks for itself.

Poor, poor Melissa...I remember being sick there and it is awful.And that Nachos were the cause is indeed cruel and unfair. May you never see a deep fried mystery meat cigar again. I am counting the moments till you return and can't wait to hear your voices on the phone. I long to hold your son and am so proud of all of you. Today's pictures are wonderful and the babbling standing smiley one does me in. Travel safely my beloved threesome. Hugs and kisses, Gramma, Mom, Marjorie

looks like Aden found his noise voice, and he continues to keep up on the news.
Keep on day dreaming my daughter its what keeps us all going. So sorry about the nachos, I will go to the market tomorrow night and leave you kids a healthy meal in the fridge. I'm counting the hours and think about the home coming every minute of my day.

You will be home soon and then you can get back to normal. Just a few trips to Whole Food and your system will be just fine. Say Hi to my Grandson for me. See ya
