Today I have a "date night" with my Isaiah. I'm so excited. I miss my little buddy. Once school started and we added our super special little Anna to the family Isaiah and I didn't have the constant one-on-one time anymore. I miss that. I could go on and on about all the adventures we had when Isaiah was a baby, just him and I, as Matthew was starting a sign business and at one time was working 4jobs at once. I won't. But we did spend every waking and sometimes sleeping (he'd crawl into bed with Matthew and I) moment together for his first 4years of his life. I miss that sometimes.
Anyhow today's the day for our date night. Yes. First off we'll be going to Hudson to drop Anna off at Gramps and Mimi's house. Isaiah and I will be doing some Christmas shopping together and he'll need to pick out some stocking stuffers for Matthew's stocking. (there's no Santa appearance at our house because Isaiah was scared to death of the big red guy when he was little and we saw no need to freak him out with a nightly raid in his own home by the jolly elf) We then will double date for lunch at McDonald's with a friend of mine from high school and her daughter who is the same age as Isaiah. After the fine dining, Isaiah will then escort myself and our friends to the Phipps for an afternoon performance of the Little House Christmas production. I can't wait.
This all sounds fun and I know we will enjoy ourselves but you know what will probably be the best part for me? The quiet car rides (Anna will be at Mimi's) to and from our destinations. I bet we'll have some neat conversations about "stuff". Isaiah's really fun to talk with and when we have uninterrupted little discussions about life it's pretty neat to find out how he thinks about things.
Thank you God for allowing Isaiah and I to take the time to be together today.

Have a great time with your date!!
What a great idea! I always go out with Mikayla for fun nights and weekends away, but never have with the boys- I think I'll try it! You're right- it is fun to get to know them more, one of mine is a "Quiet Thinker." LD
We had a great time on our date my boy and I. Thanks for asking. We enjoyed ourselves, got alot accomplished, laughed at the play and it was just Isaiah and I. My favorite part was Saturday night when I was hugging him goodnight and I thanked him for our day. Isaiah said, "Yeah, Mama I love you and I'm glad it was just you and I today, I had fun." I sure love that boy. He's pretty special. :)
I am so nervous about having our second. I have Emma that will be two in January, and then a babe coming in February. My husband is worried that he won't be able to love the second as much as he does Emma, and I am just sad about having to share Emma's time with another sibling. I guess we just need to plan special outings, as you do??? Please tell me it will be okay!
Hey Cara, I wrote a comment on your blog. It's long so beware. :)
