Name and place update: I am back from the dead. Well, at least almost back from the dead. And by “dead” I am speaking the dreaded Norovirus that has taken my body (and Marcus’ too) hostage for the past couple of days. After I clicked ‘publish’ for my last post it was as if the little bug knew it was time to take action. So long story short, we won’t be having any Branstad family gatherings for a while…

After completely Clorox-ing my entire house, I was able to focus what energy I had left on these little guys. I love them and I can’t wait to set them up on the table for our party next week. First things first, getting back my appetite before said dinner.

That's my dad - Fredd with two d's

On my to do list for the rest of the week/end? To get over this virus and back to normal!
