Last Friday night Andy, Laurie and Asher came out to visit. Asher was a bit under the weather. On Saturday evening Andy and Laurie took him to the emergency room to be checked. They gave him some medicine which seemed to help a lot. Monday both Andy and Laurie got ill. Tuesday morning LaRue woke up sick but went to school for the morning while I arranged to get a substitute for her for the afternoon. By Tuesday afternoon everyone but Asherand me was suffering.
LaRue has stayed home from school for the last 3 days, but she's getting better. The kids went back to Provo Wednesday.
While here Asher really began to walk around the house; not walking completely, but taking several steps in a row.
While they were here Andy, Laurie and I played a couple of boardgames. We played Arkham Horror. It was the first time I played and it was great fun. It's a fairly complicated game, but once you wrap your head around the basic flow of the turns it plays fairly smoothly. The best part was that we beat the game.
Later we played a couple of games of Pandemic. Beat one and lost one. Both sessions were fairly close and tense at the end.
