Last Sunday we headed to Vienna for three days of vacation. We stayed in a hospitality house outside of Vienna (that we've stayed in before), mostly just relaxed around the house, shopped a little and went into the center for our usual visit to TGIFriday's and Starbucks! I spent most of my time around the house scrapbooking Abigail's album and Joel watched movies and worked on an article he's writing. It was...as always...a relaxing and enjoyable time.
So some of Abigail's fun experiences during that time include, riding a train--which she loved, getting her first balloon, and visiting with very friendly ducks. 
Then we headed up to the JV Spring Bible Conference in Czech. We were really looking forward to seeing everyone again and also having some good teaching in English as well as worship in English. It was really great and the Lord did some great things in both of our hearts.
Unfortunately though, the first full day we were there Abigail got a stomach virus that had started going around the babies...about 10 of them. So she was throwing up, had a temperature of 102.5 and was just sleepy. She was really so sweet in the midst of being sick. By the third day her temperature was gone and she was a little more back to herself. The nice thing for us is that she just wants to be held and cuddled right now and she's sleeping a lot! I can't remember the last time she protested when I laid her down for sleep. Pretty crazy!
On Friday there was a good ol' fashioned hoe-down and she was feeling better that day so we took her. She got her first tastes of popcorn and cotton candy. (You're probably thinking, "No wonder she's sick!") She liked the popcorn, but wasn't at all impressed with the cotton candy. Then on the way home, Joel let her do the driving...tee, hee, hee.
Now that we're all home, she is still a bit sick and Joel isn't feeling good now and I'm just trying to stay healthy. I'm almost done with all the laundry from the week...with Abigail throwing up--often on us--we had quite a bit to do! We're glad to be home though. It was fun to catch up on you all on the blog, thanks for writing!

What fun it sounds like you had. Abigail looks just like you Joel. I remember when you were that small. How I miss those days of being close with all of you. I really enjoy seeing pictures of all of you.
What a great family pic!!! The pictures are all so good. Glad you are getting better and that you were atleast able to enjoy some of your trip. Seeing the pictures though sure makes me miss all of you!
Amy, can you set me up again so that I can post? Some how I out again. My email is woodard206@gmail.com. I'm heading to Raleigh NC again tomorrow with the management team from school. We have a meeting with the headmaster of a large school there at 8:30 Thursday morning. I'm really praying we'll get some much needed direction. We should be back Thursday evening.
Awesome pictures, thanks for posting them. I think it is Abigail's eyebrows that remind me of Joel. I'm glad you were able to take time off and relax. Ohh, I also have a book to add to the reading list :) "Don't Waste Your Life" by Piper. How are you enjoying God is the gospel joel?
