Last night was the Lafayette auction. We had a lot of fun. We saw a lot of the girls' former teachers – Nickel, Paul, Haigler and Cobb and Yedwab from a distance. We talked to Ms. Shapiro and Mr. C (A's current teachers). And best of all, we won Teacher's Treat – which we always bid on and usually win. This time, A's and M's teachers are going on a joint treat – a movie – which meant we only had to buy one! Very exciting. We also talked to the parents of the girls' phone dates – Luca and Anton – and I wouldn't be surprised if that's who the girls ended up on the Teacher's Treat with. 🙂

Daddy left this morning for The Hague. He will be back tomorrow night or Tuesday. 

We had a rough night with N last night, who was up a lot crying, which is VERY unlike him. Hopefully tonight will be an easier night. 

This afternoon we went out to Montgomery Mall to get some shoes. My friend Meredith met me there with her kids, JJ and Mira, and we got to catch up a little bit while shopping. 

Here is what we bought:

For A, from Payless:

For M, the first on order from Payless and the second from Stride Rite:

And for N, on order from Payless (the ONLY store that sells shoes wide enough for him):
