The trip home from Costa Rica on Dec 24th was uneventful. If anything it was extremely relaxed and exciting due to the
fact that I flew back with Aria. I can't ever remember flying anywh
ere with her. We chatted about life and slept. I made it back at 3 am just in time to wrap a few gifts I had bought for our christmas exchange, get a few hour's sleep and wake up at 730 am for the exchange. 
The Alschulers were here plus Lise and Anne came in from Chicago. There was a
lot of sledding, eating, giggling and some coughing with the colds running around. Yummy ham dinner yummmmm.
Aria, James and Sasha came later on in the week. Sasha is unbelievably cute. We were able to spend quality time with her after she woke up from her nap and James and Ar
ia were at the movies and the coffee shop on a dat
e. Everyone benefited greatly from the afternoon.
That weekend we went to NY to visit with Uncle Doug, Grandma, Husayn, Shamsi, Jamal, Janet and Dad. We were also blessed with seeing Heidi too. We hung, ate, laughed, annoyed Grandma with all the loud noise and frequent wrestling on the floor... I love you guys all soooooo much. Thanks for being there for us.
The rest of the story is basically that the whole house got sick. One by one we each succumbed to a horrible stomach-focused influenza type bug followed by fluy achy, snotty basura for days. I had to take Wed and Thurs off last week and probably should not have gone on Friday. Aman succumbed to it finally this morning early at around 430 am.
Our friend from Costa Rica Renee and a her two kids Aleta (9) and Bo (7) have been visiting since friday morning. We had a lot to catch up on and the kids didn't miss a beat playing as if they had seen each other last week. Pics to follow
Well ok, there it is... I think I have everyone up to date with MassRuhe happenings.
