I left all my pictures on my mom's computer. I also left my cord to upload my pictures. I told my mom right before I left that we would not be back until Thanksgiving. Half joking/Half not. I am now reconsidering my Thanksgiving date. I miss them all terribly. The picture to the left is one year ago on July 4. My how they have grown. YEAH!Apartment living is now two weeks under way. Some days are good, others are not. The temperatures around here have been in the 100's so that makes it easier not having a yard to play in. We have some great friends that have invited us over numerous times and for that I am grateful. We also have a pool to swim in, that we don't have to clean. That makes it all the more sweeter. We will not have another pool until our boys are old enough to clean and take care of it or when we can afford a cute pool boy, whichever comes first.
It's good to be back among so many people that missed us. We love our church family and it became even more clear as we were away. It is nice to be loved. The boys seemed to jump right back into the swing of things and getting into trouble just like they use too. It is so neat to see how their relationship has evolved over the summer. I swore I would never have children this close together again, but I am glad we did. They enjoy each other's company and Cooper wakes up each morning asking when Wyatt can get up because he misses him. They are interested in the same toys and play with each other instead of along one another. I see the two of them being the best of friends and my heart melts.
For the last three weeks Brian and I have been able to have Thursday night dates. We have a great pool of girls that love to babysit for the boys and the weekly date nights have been a boost for us as a couple. I hope to keep these up for years to come. I can't believe the rejuvenation that comes from it!
So much to say and so little time on the computer. I try to stay out of the house as much as possible. I am glad the boys still take two hour naps each day and I have a chance to myself. Off to another date night!

I have always heard that is one of the best things a couple can do for their marriage. We try it for a while then it seems more trouble trying to get everything ready to go (find a babysitter not busy, cleaning the house, finding a free night, and the cost of a sitter for several hours plus going out) but once we actually get out it is worth it. Thanks for the inspiration I think we will try again. I'll let you know how it goes.
That comment was Jessica. I forgot to put my name.
I need more pictures if you aren't going to be down here for me to see the boys! Can you buy another cord? It also has been a week since you posted anything. I losing out on time!
Your mom
Um, Mom. Come visit me. Mmmkay?
Jessica, I have found since we go out on Thursday we have the same plan for the babysitter no matter who babysits. I print off my paper and sit out the same pj's and dinner. It is now a form of art for me:) It does get costly since no family is around to do it for free so we don't get a fancy meal. We go to the mall, the dollar show or eat a snow cone. Cheap dates so far. Seriously, let me know how it goes if you do get to. We rotate between four different babysitters so we can find one not busy!
