So, today, we reached another milestone.  Another couple, Ben and I went out for some adult time.  We had babysitters!  My children have never had babysitters.  It's not that we didn't want to do things without the children, but Brother had anxiety issues so we have not until now.  It went well.

The adults went hiking at a local park, went to the other couple's house, since their kids were at our house, for a shower and then out to dinner.  It was fantastic.  We stopped during our hike along the riverbed (which is pretty dry since we haven't had much rain this summer) and sat down for a snack.  It was soooooooooooooooooooooooo quiet.  

Pictures coming soon.

Did I mention my babysitters?  My dear friend's oldest two daughters babysat both families' children.  Two babysitter; eight children.  They did great.  All but one (Brother) were asleep when we returned home at around 9pm.

    I was so, so glad that everyone was happy to be with the girls and that you all got time out and away. And if all Brother needed was to be awake when you got home, then I’d say it is more than a success!

    KC – That is AWESOME! It sounds like a great day. Brother is growing up, and I’m sure it will help to know that you can leave him once in a while, especially with deployment looming. How are things on that front? Are you ready? Miss you so much! Karen +AMDG+

    Oh I am so glad y’all had a good time! It is good to know that if needed, they can stay with someone else.
