Date Night!

Mine and Shaun's New Year’s resolution was to make more time for our marriage. And a part of that is making time to go on dates. We usually go six or seven months without going out just the two of us, and sense John Whitten has been born we have only been out once and we took him with us so Shaun says that doesn't even count as a date. Even if John Whitten did sleep through the entire meal. Well, if you read my blog you saw that last weekend we watch the Ellison boys, Sam and Eli, while their Mommy and Daddy got a much needed date night together! This past Saturday night Jenny and Daniel watched Lillian AND John Whitten while Shaun and I went out for our much needed date night. I have to say that I was VERY nervous about leaving John Whitten because of the whole won't take a bottle thing, but I knew that we would only be gone for a couple of hours and that he shouldn't starve during that time. Lillian was so excited to be at Sam and Eli's house and just thought that she was going on a big play date.  
Dinner was great! Spending one on one time with Shaun was great! Not to mention that it was really nice to get dressed up for dinner, get through salads without breastfeeding, order a glass of wine, and not have a grilled cheese and sprite on our final bill!

I LOVE Jenny Ellison and very much so value her friendship. It was so nice to know that my babies were with someone that I trust so completely! Oh, and she sent me three or four pictures of my little ones having fun while we were gone which really made me be able to relax! Thank you Jenny and Daniel!!
