slice of freedom

We actually left the house without Declan yesterday. No, not a silly mistake - Nana was over. Granted we didn't make it any further than the traffic circle a few blocks from home, but all in due time. It was Declan's very first time without either Danny or myself around. Mika stayed with him and Nana - that makes a big difference. I bet Declan would have snapped if Mika hadn't have been home too.
Mika got to play with her cousin Jackson over lunch yesterday - she was thrilled. Lucas was down with pink eye, so he didn't come out.
It's my work's kids xmas party today. Mika has an absolutely horrible sounding cough - have to spirit her away to the medicentre this morning to see if she needs biaxin and whether its OK for her to attend the party. We'll both be disappointed if we don't get to go...
