We went on a DATE!

This is slightly old news, but Keith & I finally got to go on a date over Memorial Day weekend. It was a last-minute decision, and it worked out great. My sister Deb lives about 10 minutes from a movie theater, and she was willing to babysit on short notice.


Keith & I drove to Schererville with Alex, had dinner (free birthday burger for Keith at Red Robin), then went to Deb's house to feed Alex. After the baby had a full belly, we headed to the theater and saw Prince Caspian.



Honestly, I never once worried about Alex. Wow! I did think about him halfway through the movie, and I knew I'd be glad to have him back in my arms. Aunt Deb was a GREAT babysitter...and Alex was a well-behaved boy, she says. :)



It sure was nice to do something with just Keith & me. It's been a while!


No pics from our date or from the babysitting, but here are some recent random photos:



This is where Alex "rides" when I do laundry. He's usually all smiles for this little ride to the bedroom.

Derek held Alex for the first time. He was nervous, but he did just fine! :)

Jessica looks so pretty. Or should I say...Jessica Annette Is Purdy ;)

Even the bestest of babies can't always be happy, right? Just a random "I'm crying" picture taken at home on a boring day ;)
