Washington, D.C.

Jeremy got to go to D.C. again this year with the Student International Chiropractic Association (SICA - he is the secretary, I believe) and he had a great time, again. It was a little colder this time around, but they still managed to stay busy with the National Chiropractic Legislative Conference, sight-seeing, and keeping warm. He was actually gone for an entire week: the first 3-4 days were the conference, then he and a friend stayed an extra 3 days. They met up with Jeremy's MTC companion (who was actually one of the witnesses at our sealing, as well) and spent time with him and his family in Suffolk and Charlottesville, VA. The visited a NUCCA doctor's office in Virginia as well, then spent their last day sight-seeing in D.C. before they came home the next morning. He had a great trip and I think, loves Washington, D.C. more than ever...
By the way, there was no way I could pick the "best" pictures from the 500+ he took to blog, so I just picked a few I liked... He is studying for boards and doesn't have time for such things, or I would make HIM pick the pictures. :)


At the national ICA office.

A cool view from the top of the Washington Monument.

Jeremy and Stephen Merrell (his comp) at the D.C. temple.

One of the coolest buildings they saw - the Library of Congress.

We mostly did fine while he was gone. Hung out, didn't make any big meals, did a lot of projects...

The last few days were a little rough. Jaina, was, I think, sick AND working on molars at the same time. She woke up one morning with a bad cough and a 103º fever. :( She felt terrible for several days. As she was starting to feel better, Reilly got the cough (but no fever) and it's only in the last few days that he's stopped waking up panicky at night coughing his little head off. :( They are both doing well now, though, and we're glad "Daddy" got to go to D.C. for a change after this crazy trimester and before he had to study like crazy for his Boards next weekend...

Poor sick little girl... and you can see Reilly's eyes kind of swollen and sickly in his pictures, too!

Daddy DID bring some cool shirts for both kids - they like them!
