Keep your fingers crossed

We had a nice dinner tonight since Margaret's daycare center had the "parent's night out" which meant that they'd watch the kids until 9:00 PM (!!!) while the parents went out to eat. Apparently, there was a dance party going on when Abby picked up Margaret, but as most of the lil' kids were, Margaret was a bit tired when Abby arrived.

But the big upcoming event is our trip to LA for the wedding celebration of Abby's cousin. We've got a non-stop flight both ways, but 5+ hours with a 1 year old is an iffy proposition regardless. We've heard good stories and bad stories, so we have no preconceived notions about how Margaret will actually behave. We're taking a bag full of food and books (Margaret really likes books - of course she does b/c she's soooo intelligent and inquisitive), but keep your fingers crossed for us nonetheless.
