Do You See Any Kids in This Picture?

No!

That's because they weren't here tonight!

Yes, folks, Mitch and I had a bonafide date tonight, complete with candlelight dinner.

It is a crazy semester (in case you were wondering) with Mitch taking 6 classes, but he was able to set aside his schoolwork for a little while tonight. The neighbors invited all 3 girls over for a birthday party without mom and dad, and even Ruthie did great!

Thank you Mariah and Pete.

It was good to sit down to a meal just the two of us, in our own home; good to have uninterrupted conversation and focus on each other for a little while. Fun to get out my place mats and matching dishes and light all the candles with no fear that anyone might burn themselves or the house down.
