Mommy & Daddy Mondays

Last night was great. Chip did not have work so he was able to get home from school around 6:30 (which is always a treat). The sun was still out and it was hot, but the whole pool was shaded so I decided to take Preston for a swim before his bath. We swam around and Preston's whole body quickly became relaxed while he took everything in from the green leaves on the trees to the bright blue sky. After about 30 minutes we got out and Preston had his bath, a bottle, and we rocked. After he was asleep Chip and I decided it was perfect weather to eat outside. He grilled burgers and I made sautéed onions and italian potatoes. We sat outside and ate and talked, for hours. We decided to jump in the pool, but we ended up staying in the pool for several more hours talking and laughing. We talked about everything from our childhoods to our dreams for our family in the future. It was definitely a night that reminded us of how good we really have it. We have officially declared Monday nights as "Mommy & Daddy Mondays". I am already looking forward to next week :)
