Kids are back

The kids are back. After two weeks of being just the two of us (and what a relaxing two weeks were these) we are back to being parents. It’s nice.
We missed the kids. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to get some time to ourselves – and we are going to miss the fact that we will not be able to send them off to the grandparents until next year (kindergarten and all) – but we are not a family without them. We need them to be complete.
Anyway, I’m happy they are back. They were so wonderfully affectionate when we got them back, so many hugs, so many kisses. Mika is having transition problems, she misses Kathy (“my real mama”) very much, but I think she’ll pull through. Transitions are just hard for her. Camila seems just the same, perhaps a little bit more needy, but very much back to her own self (mommy do it, daddy do it, next to mommy, next to daddy, you get the drift).
I know they had a great time at the grandparents. Here are some pictures of them at Chuckee Cheese. The other little girl is Nikki, their cousin.
