Date Night!!

I am so excited to post that Chris and I actually got our first date night in about 4 months this past week! We decided to go out to dinner at the Melting Pot to celebrate Valentine's Day. We actually hired a baby sitter (THANK YOU SO MUCH KIM!!) and left home for 3 hours! I know that seems like only a short period of time, but you would be surprised at how refreshing 3 hours can be when it is not filled with feeding, changing diapers and crying. Please don't misunderstand me...I ADORE my two precious gifts from God, but everyone needs a little adult time. It was awesome for us to get a chance to reconnect and build on our marriage.

Baby update: Our boys are now 7 weeks old! It is amazing to me how fast they are growing and changing! They are starting to grow out of all of their newborn clothes. So, we are having to switch over to the 0-3 month outfits now. Some of them are still too big, but they are starting to fill out a lot of them already. The biggest problem that we have is length. Who would have guessed that our boys would be too long for an outfit before they would be too round for it?? LOL.

Another update: Cooper gave us his first smile this week and he has found his voice! I love it! It is so precious when he gives us that big smile and starts talking to us. He was in our baby swing yesterday while I was feeding Emory and he was talking to the animal that was on the swing. It was adorable! I got a little of it on video, but I haven't figured out how to post that stuff yet. So, maybe next week...

Mommy update: This Valentine's Day has proven to be a new chapter in my life. The days of date nights filled with champagne, good food and movies are now on hold for a little bit. I am limited to my one glass of wine a night. So, I have to choose wisely... And, we rarely have enough time to watch a movie. But, my nights are filled with love in a different way. It fills my heart to see my little boys and get to snuggle with them before they go to bed. And, it fills my heart to see how wonderful Chris is as a father. And, that is not all. He has always been a wonderful husband, but now it just seems to be getting better and better. He is my supporter, my rock, and I am so blessed to have him! (Sorry for the sappiness, but I thought I could get away with it since it is Valentine's Day.) :)
