Busy Week

There has been a lot going on this week!

On Friday, Kevin got home from a two week training at Ft. Rucker. We missed him sooo much while he was gone. I figured a date night was in order and wanted to do something different. I told him on Saturday that a sitter would be coming at 6 and he couldn't know any of the details of our date :) I had planned for us to do Great Date #1 of The Great Date Experiment. I don't want to spoil any details but it is a faith-based exercise for married couples and consists of a series of 6 dates. The dates are geared to be really funny, a little cheesy, and help you grow in your relationship. At the start of the date you print out your "instructions" and it tells you step by step what you are to do, where you are to go, and what you are to talk about on your date. We had SO much fun and will definitely be doing Date #2!



On Monday, we all went and ate supper at Joe and Jill's house. Joe and Kevin's mom was in town visiting and we all had a great time together. Emma and Hannah love digging out all of Auntie Jill's plastic utensils and "cooking" with her. They spent a long time lying in the kitchen floor eating brocolli :)

On Wednesday, we had a surprise birthday dinner in Nashville for our friend Lori. We ate at Pie in the Sky and had a cake from Publix. It was all so yummy and so fun. I love spending time with my girlfriends and am so glad we can bless each other. Yay to Karen for thinking up this great idea! (Lori is the brunette, front-left)

But...the best news of the week....

Joe and Jill's twin baby boys were born on Tuesday night!!!!! It was a little earlier that expected but Mama and both boys, Carter Joel and Owen Thomas, are doing fantastic! I haven't snapped very many great pictures yet (I was too busy staring at them and holding them!) but they are just precious and perfect in every way! I am so excited to have nephews and can not wait to watch these guys grow up. Auntie Mandy loves you!!!
