Enjoy some time alone – you really deserve it! So sorry that you’ve had a few oopses along the way, athsma is scary especially in kids isn’t it – and as for Napolaena’s arm … but I’m sure you guys will still have an awesome time.

Oh my goodness, I hope your two are both doing well now and that Sillybilly’s asthma got better and that Napoleona doesn’t have a fracture. What a holiday! I can relate to that. I’ve had the nebuliser out more times than I would have cared to today. A certain person times his asthma for the weekend and whenever daddy’s away. You start wondering whether to have a hospital bag permanently packed. I get so annoyed that the “preventer” does so little actual preventing.

No one is too young for us mature ladies to gawk at! Look but don’t touch. Remember, just because you are married doesn’t mean you are dead. I always rationalize it as aesthetic appreciation.

Sorry about the slings and colds! Maybe she just smacked that nerve that runs past the elbow really hard and now that it has gotten over the shock it really is okay.

It wouldn’t be a vacation with children without asthma and arm slings, now would it? Hee hee!

Otherwise, I hope you’re all well and having fun.

Aargh, I am soo jealous. I was going to see Indy this weekend, but life was just too full. Yep, Shia is a wee bit young, but really, Harrison Ford was too old when I was four and tho’t that Han Solo was the best thing since sliced bread! I didn’t realise Karen Allen reprised her role. I can’t wait to find out how. Did you know she is a Steiner parent.

Have a wonderful holiday. I am missing California, so enjoy it for this ex-pat, please.

Sounds like a whirl wind of activity. Thanks for the new word “MacGuffin” I am going to use it as soon as possible, often fancy turn of phrases get lost on my very literal, French partner. The fun of these words often get lost, as I have to explain things and break down their etymological roots, watching an English movie is near impossible with him. “What did he say”, “what does that mean”, “why won’t you answer me” Agh!
Enjoy the rest of your Vacation.

I’m hoping for very well children so that you and Anthropapa can enjoy some richly-deserved time off. We have very kind friends who have invited all three children for a sleepover this weekend, so will be doing some sleeping-in ourselves on Sunday morning. Yay!
