A special Date Night!

Today we had the honor of attending the wedding of our friends Tom & Renny. Tom was Linda's coworker when she worked at Performance Technologies. We've known Tom since he moved to San Diego over 9 years ago. We are so happy that he found the right person to spend the rest of his life with. Congrats to the newlyweds!

This was a special date night for us because Linda's sister and husband (Angela & Mike) babysat our kids not only for the duration of the wedding and reception but also had the kids sleepover. This was the first time that the boys have ever slept somewhere else without us. The only time Leyton has ever stayed overnight away from us was when Lincoln was born and we were at the hospital, but he stilled stayed at home with the grandparents. Lincoln has never been away from us overnight and he's almost 2 1/2 years old. We were a little worried about how Lincoln would cope with the separation, we knew that Leyton would be fine. The kids did great, a couple of mentions from Lincoln as to the where abouts of Mommy & Daddy but nothing serious! I would definitely say that I thought of them a lot and it was strange going to bed without having to tuck the kids in or being awaken by them in the morning. But at the same time, it was great to be at the wedding and reception and not have to worry that we had to be home by a certain time to get the kids from the babysitter. In fact, we took full advantage of the kids staying away for the night by burning a hole in the dance floor all night until the party was over. If you didn't already know, we both love to dance and this was a great opportunity to tear up the dance floor.

Congrats again to Tom & Renny and a special thanks to them and Auntie Angela and Uncle Mike for giving us a special date night!
