The Elmer Plague

Tuesday I went with my mom and ryan to visit my amish friend and her son elmer who was born the day after ryan. they were thrilled to play together, chewing on eachothers toys and throwing a ball back and forth, pausing to mouth it once in a while. Well approximately an hour after they had been playing together my friend mentions that the day before elmer was puking all night!! arg! Well, wednesday night ryan began the technicolor yawn. I followed and then tim and then michelle. my mom came and got ryan and then she promptly began worshiping the porcelain throne. Nathanael seems to have a slightly milder version of it. my dad is currently watching ryan, seeing that he's the only upright adult around right now! arg elmer!! :) The good thing is, this is a very quick weight loss program!
