Parents Night Out

This is a first for us.  There wasn't time to do it when Luke and Jessie were here.  Christina called us yesterday and asked if we'd like to go out.  Shondra and Chandler were available to babysit and the kids really like them, so of course we said Yes!  On the way over Caleb decided that he just wanted to sit in the van and wait for us to come back.  He ended up having a really good time though and I think he was glad to be out of the van:).  Kiersten had the hardest time, but fell asleep and stayed that way for a good portion of the time that we were out.  Here is the delicious restaurant that we were taken to:

Awesome food!

Jason and Christina

P.E.I. Mussels(Sea food at an Italian Resturant!)I actually tried one and it tasted pretty good.

Christina's skewers and grilled zucchini.

A rare sighting of us together:).

We had a somewhat relaxed day at the house before our outing.  A bit of homeschooling, learning to make soap at home, catching bugs(pic below), listening to Lamplighters Theatre with the kids.  I highly recommend those stories on cd.  They're available from Vision Forum and we're thoroughly enjoying them as a family.  Scott also put up some blinds for mom and fixed her couch.  If you've ever watched Red Green, you should get a laugh out of the fact that I find my husband both handsome AND handy:).  

There's an ant in there to the left.  The only catch so far.

The travel buddies enjoying the sun.

A new brand of deodorant found here in Georgia-Swagger:).

I had to take a pic of the back.  Makes me smile every time.

So, that about wraps it up for us again.  We're packing in as much time with the family as we can before we head out.  Today Scott is going to drop me off at the school and mom and I are going to spend some time together.  I've been trying to stay up at night to visit with her, but I'm not at my best after 10:).  We might try Cracker Barrel for Lunch, if mom feels up to it, but we'll see.  She started to lose her voice last night and two of the kids are sniffling a bit.  I'm hoping we're not making the trip home with the kids sick again, but it does mean that they sleep more, so it's not all bad. Something else that's been neat to see is Kiersten starting to talk more.  She gets excited when you repeat what she said, acknowledging that we can understand her now.  This is only the beginning...
