Date Night!

Woo-hoo! Mom & Dad got a whole 2 hours out on the town...the first date night in 8 months and long overdue. We only went to the next town over for dinner, but it was great. My Mom came up to watch Ruby and Jeff made reservations at this great little BYOB french restaurant. Quaint, romantic, amazing food but since it's BYOB we could bring our own favorite wine and not plunk down a fortune. (We have Sesame Place passes and summer vacations for that!) 

So I only called my Mom 3 times during our outing and Ruby was, of course fine. Mom knew she loved Princess and the Frog when we rented it so she went out and bought it for her. So sweet of her!  She also got her a cute play set of the prince and princess that Ruby was very excited about. So we ordered them some Thai food, turned on the movie, and hit the door. Ruby barely noticed we were gone, but Mommy & Daddy ended talking about her through most of the meal. And really, how could you not? We got some great big hugs on our return which was really just as great as the whole night out. It went real well for our first outing. Hmmm...we may have to make this a once a month thing!

Big thanks to Mom for coming up to help!! We love you!

LOL, Jess...I couldn't resist! It took like 5 tries till my mom actually got us in the frame - haha - and Jeff was getting tired of puckering but we got the shot and still made our reservation! :-)

That really is a lovely photo. So glad you got to be a couple instead of just mum and dad. It's good for the soul...if I remember!

That pic is super cute! I love that Ruby's kitchen is next to Jeff! A little reminder of your parenthood, even while you're having date night :)
