Happy 10!




Happy Anniversary too us!  This is our 10 year anniversary month.  Our actual date is the 31st but we are going to celebrate for 10 weeks total starting yesterday!  That is my gift to Clay; 10, once a week dates without children.  I know that doesn't sound like a big deal to most of you but to us it is a HUGE deal.  We basically believe in attachment parenting for at least the amount of time that our children are still nursing. Well Eden is still nursing and so that means we have not been anywhere without her for over a year now.  It was grand - however, we didn't know what to do with ourselves and we almost forgot how to carry on a real conversation. 
So here is a synopsis of our first date.  
Picnic at Woodward park - Crostini & Muffuletta Antipasto & smoke cheddar cheese with water.  We people watched, ate, I read aloud, laid and watched squirrels, planned vacations and stole a couple of kisses.
Dessert at Shades of Brown Coffee Shop - A grasshopper for the Mr. and a Prague Mocha for the Mrs.  We sat and people watched for a good hour.  This is one of our favorite pass times is to people watch, it must be in our genes because Payton is a serious people watcher as well. :O.
Then back home to the kiddos.  We are both still beaming today  from our great date.  It was kind of like our first date, because never had a "first date".  We were friends for several years and always knew we were the ones.  We basically courted and then just fell right in love.  
I will try and document our dates as they happen over the next nine weeks!
Until then ....Grace and Peace

I totally know how difficult it can be to steal a date. Please know that you can drop the girls here if ever you want a date on this side of town. We would love to help make those dates happen.
miss you~
