It's a date!

It is not real often that Eric and I ever go anywhere alone. In fact, the last time I can recall the two of us doing anything without one or more kids was in MAY! Oh, I think we may have been in the room alone for a few hours in the hospital when Ella was born...does that count?

The fall is so crazy for us...Eric is so busy, so when we do have time to be a family, the last thing we want to do is leave the kids! In many ways we know this is not what is best, and there are times that we really DO miss each other...despite the fact we see each other every day! We know our time with the kids is precious; however, our time as a couple is just as cherished.

Thus, this Christmas our gifts to each other were things we could do together...just Eric and me...no kids, and last night we had our first "date" (I guess you could call it).

We had a wonderful time, and we look forward to many more...



Sometimes it seems like so long ago, and sometimes it seems like yesterday, but the picture above is a picture of our first Christmas together...when we were dating! :) The picture made me giggle...
