Our first outing alone without the kids....

Sven and I were asked to give a talk on our adoption experience on Friday night to a group of prospective adoptive parents. Since so many adoptive parents helped us along the way, we thought it was our turn to provide a helping hand. This meant that both Sven and I would be away... a first. Our kind neighbours were brave enough to babysit for us.... and it went fine... but wow... the reception we got when we went to pick them up. Annabelle ran if not sprinted into my arms and has been clingy every since. I feel for her so much. I'm afraid that she thought we had left her behind...even though Yannik was with her. She has been on best behaviour ever since though.. perhaps an outing once in a while is a good thing ;0)))
