Yesterday marked Mike's 35th year of life, as well as his first birthday as a father. He awoke in the morning to a card and a present that Vince had gotten him at the mall the day before! I had to drive him there, but he knew exactly which sweater he wanted to buy his Daddy. I think Mike liked it because he wore it proudly to work that day, and let everyone know his son gave it to him for his birthday. To celebrate the occasion further, I knew Mike would really enjoy a night out to a nice dinner... without having to hold a squirmy little boy while trying to bring a fork to his mouth.
I arranged to have a friend of ours watch Vince (thanks so much Karen!), and we headed over to the Temple bar, a restaurant not far from our house. It was such a nice night out, and we were able to sit right by the open window. I have to say that we REALLY enjoyed being able to take our time and enjoy a meal... without having squirmy baby Vince. It was a nice opportunity for ourselves. We did, however, end up talking about Vince much of the time and how cute he is and how happy he makes us. So even in his absence our lives pretty much revolve around our little boy. I suppose that's how it happens when you have kids... and we are just fine with that. We did talk a little bit about how we want to spend our 25th wedding anniversary... it ended in the plan of renewing our vows in some distant exotic country (to be determined) that everyone will have to travel too. So be prepared for a destination re-wedding in 25 years :) All in all, it was a very nice night... and although it was only about 2 hours in length, it was enough time to bring us back to ourselves and recharge our batteries for being able to take care of the little one.
