2.15.13 Thank goodness for Grandmothers

Last night Dan offered that we should go out for dinner for Valentine's Day.  Yes!  I can't remember the last time we went out for dinner, just the two of us.  Joe didn't want to go. We asked Eleanor if Joe could come next door.  He cozied into a chair with a blanket and played minecraft on his kindle.We ended up going to Corona Village, which was crazy busy, but delicious food.  Ironically, a family with 3 children under the age of 5 sat at the table next to us.  Kids were very good! Also saw friends from our old hockey days, and enjoyed being updated on their kids' lives.
After dinner we drove out to the farm, to deliver a valentine card for all the kids, even Cara and Matthew, with $5 McDonald's gift cards for each.  Really enjoyed catching up with Corbin and Caleb, and listening to Indyra read her books.  Renia was just getting off work and picking Caleigh up from a birthday party before we left, and Zach had been at parent teacher conferences for Corbin.

We are blessed to have these kids in our lives.  They make every day better! 

Back to the grandmothers.  

Thank you to Eleanor for watching Joe so we could enjoy a dinner alone, with adult conversation.  I told Dan I think we forgot what a date is! 

Thank you to my mom for watching Joey today, and next Monday, when our daycare provider takes days off.  They painted, played a bean bag game, shovelled, etc.  

We are so blessed to have the support of our mothers.
