As you know I went to visit my brother and his fiancee two weeks ago. My brother Scott [...]

Haaaaa……where do I start?
As our story last left off I was relishing the fact that we were all sick, PC was working terrible hours, we were all tired, cranky. Saturday morning rolls around and Mackenzie was roasting like a little turkey, fussy, not sleeping well, woke up at 5am crying. I made the executive decision [...]
