What a great week we had!

Graham has discovered that he has this amazing thing called a voice and boy does he LOVE to show it off. He is constantly squeeking, squealing, screeching, chirping and yelping these days. It's adorable to watch him in his jumper just a-singing away while he jumps. He has learned to make noises out in public and all the ladies within a 30 foot radius come running and oh and ah all over him--HE LOVES IT! I was in Macys Thursday and I actually thought I was going to have to pull a sales woman out of his stroller. He loves to make the girls and ladies laugh. Such a ham already, just like his Daddy! :)
Last night (Friday) our wonderful friends Lindsey and Trevor watched Graham so Brandon and I could have a much needed date night. It was amazing! We grabbed a stuffed crust pizza (MY FAV), a couple Mike's cranberry lemonaids and hit the beach for a night time picnic. After we ate, we walked along the beach and talked. The date could not be complete without a 20 minute play session on the neighboring playground. Swings, slides, rock walls, merry-go-round thing...we did it all! It was so much fun. As we always do, we questioned why we live 10 minutes from the beach and rarely go. We vowed to try and go more. About halfway through the night we had been talking about dating, and the first few years of marriage and then we had one of those 'oh my gosh-WE ARE PARENTS!' moments. We both laughed because for like 10 minutes we were just husband and wife again, not somebodys mom or dad. Sometimes we get so caught up in that but it's important for us remember to take time for one another. I loved being able to focus on my wonderful husband and remind him how important he is to me. I am so thankful to our wonderful friends who make times like that possible. Jamie, Lindsey, Trevor and so many others--thank you for being such an important part of our family. :)
