We just spent two days in SF, without M & A.  M & A stayed home with I, and from the sounds of it, had a great time. Every time we called to check in, we heard lots of laughter from all three. We are very lucky to have I and we are so grateful that she was willing to give up two nights and a Saturday to stay with them while we were gone.

When we got home, A had a ribbon that she was alternately pretending was a tail (sticking it into the back of her pajama bottoms) or a trunk (sticking it up her nose).

M had many questions about the a-plane – did I play games on the a-plane? did the lady come and bring me juice? what did I read?

A had some questions for Daddy too: have you ever seen a scary dinosaur? have you ever seen a nice dinosaur? have you ever seen a dinosaur in a swimming pool?

I (nanny, not me) also took the girls out to lunch today, and when I asked where, they said, "Old McDonalds!"

We are happy to be home. We missed M & A a lot.
