tag along

• Dareian left this morning.  I cried.  She cried.  It was hard to see her go.  I really love her, and I appreciate her generosity in spending time with her old auntie.  
• Lila, I made you a wand this morning.  But a wand with a twist.  It has a little reservoir in the tip that we can fill with glitter so that when you cast your spell on something "magic" comes out.  I'm so proud of my design.  You're so delighted with your wand
• George and Lila, Daddy asked me on a pho date, but since Jane and Katie are in Kelowna we didn't have a babysitter, so you came along with us.  You LOVED it.  And you were determined to eat with chopsticks.  It was a little slow going, but you managed to eat it all...eventually.
• George, you played with your hockey guys all day.  You were so inspired by the trip to the rink last night.  You had three special players who you named Andrais, Mattias and Isaiah.  So so so so cute.  Oh my gosh.  You love those boys.  They're your hockey heroes.
