Michael and Claire Gain Some Independence

They may hate me for doing this, but I'm just doing my crazy job.  I remember watching a video of my Mom and Dad following me in their car while I was on the bus for my first day of Kindergarten.  They videoed the whole drive . . . through the windshield . . . wipers going because it was raining.  While it was a bit crazy (mostly because of how big video cameras were back then), I loved that they videoed it because it was a good view of a big piece of my life!  While getting donuts isn't a truly significant event, watching Michael and Claire gain some independence is.  They were both nervous to walk the block to Yum Yum Donuts.  Damien and I were a bit nervous too, but I think they did a great job!  They may hate that I did this now, but years from now when we are cracking up together while sharing the donuts their kids brought us, they will thank me.  Okay, not thank me.  A little wink letting me know they forgive me will do.
