The New Date Night?

Bryan and I are trying to regularly schedule a "date night" on Saturday evenings, provided that we're both conscious after bedtime and up for an exciting date! A few weeks ago we had our first real "date" since Ruby was born. We worked together on our garden and drank beer, then sampled some cheeses that we had bought in Leavenworth last month (Bryan's parents came for a visit and we took them there for an overnight).

It is funny how the world changes; dates are now beer and yard work. The funniest part is that I enjoy this new, slower side of life. I wish we had picked up on this years ago. I cherish the one-on-one time that Bryan and I get together. It is a blessing for both of us and gives us a chance to recharge a bit. I hope that as life gets busier and the children grow older that we are able to remember to set apart special time for just us. If it seems as if we've forgotten to do this, will you please remind us? Thank you!

Here are a couple pics of our garden now (please ignore the weeds)... our fingers are crossed that we will actually yield some veggies from it. The boys are very excited.
