With our appointment at Sick children's yesterday afternoon it made things a little bit crazy.
We had a friend ready to watch Lucas and Alexandra while we were at the hospital, we didn't know we could've taken them, they have an area just for such occasions.
Anyway, our friend called us and told us, her son was sick. 100+ fever. That caused a problem. Just a while later an old friend who, although we see all the time, haven't spent much time with over the last four years called us, and said, "eh, I'll watch your kids."
Well, not only was that a great help to us. In the end we ended up sticking around the house after the hospital and even had a spontaneous dinner together. A very good dinner!
It's kind of sad that it took somewhat of an emergency to finally get us together again, but sitting there talking, I thought to myself, this is just like old times. I had missed that, more than I realized.
So, I'm glad I didn't know Sick children's provides babysitting when parents come in with a family, but only one kid has an appointment.
Thanks guys - and I really enjoyed the evening. I know Vun did too, but I'm speaking for myself here. Oh yes, and the kids really enjoyed the day!
