Time in the Desert

Tay and I are home! We had a great trip to Phoenix, despite being delayed a day. 2 o'clock Saturday morning Tay woke up barfing. I have anxiety issues flying alone with Tay as it is, yet alone when she is yaking every 20-30 minutes. We ended up rebooking to fly out on Sunday, at a cost of $535. Not overly impressed, but worth it to see my sis. Although, I am not too sure how impressed she was when we managed to contaminate her entire family with the flu. Sorry Kim!

We went for walks almost daily and we managed to turn those into cardio sessions with the kids demanding that we run up and down the hills while pushing the double strollers. My sister is a fantastic cook, and quite creative in the kitchen. I would highly recommend that you check out her blog, if you have not done so yet. She has some great gluten and dairy free recipes. I am not sure Tay was as appreciative as I was with the variety, she seems to be a much pickier eater then I ever expected. I am pretty sure she lost weight in the 6 days we were there.
My sister is amazing. I have a whole new respect for her. She is a fantastic mother and it boggles my mind how she manages to keep her sanity with three kids. I can barely keep it together with one! I only wish we lived closer.

Here are a few pix of our holiday....

Tay and Sage sleeping in the stroller after a heavy duty walk. You'd think they were the ones pushing the stroller, running up and down the hills
