Alone Together

Eric and I got to steal away for a few hours to have a date while my mother watched the girls. Eric and I get out about once a month, but our dates are often integrated into work events. So it is a rare treat to just get out and enjoy each other.

We had a lovely time, just talking and laughing and planning.

We ate an entire meal without anyone complaining about the texture of food or needing help in the bathroom.

While we are acutely aware of how quickly our girls are growing and changing it is so important to us that we regularly connect one on one. Just  a brief change in routine is good for us all---bringing that back to our family. Keeping us all strong and happy.
