You poor girls have been trapped inside for a week now because of the forest fires just outside the city causing smoke to rain down on us. We don't want to damage your little lungs by having you breathe in smoke so we've been playing in the house. We went to Omi & Honey's on Sunday afternoon for a little while, and Naya's once or twice last week. Today you're playing around the house the whole time. We went to look at a possible school for Sabine called Hilltop but the orientation wasn't today so all we could do was look around. Sabine is very sniffly--hopefully the smoke is getting trapped in your nose and not going into your body--and Mommy feels like she has allergies too. Vivian's cough doesn't seem worse and next week we're going to get it looked at by the doctor. Tomorrow you & I are going to the beach because the air quality is better there--we had a great time last Thursday and when we get back we'll see Alicia.
