Diaper Date Night

LOVED going to the movies last night - Diaper Date Night $7 for adults, kids under 4 free. We traveled about 25 minutes South (which in the bay is "a lot" but in our hometown would be no big deal at all for some kind of event...here we're greedy like "why doesn't our city offer this?") to a private cinema chain that offers family movie days (12:30 showings) and date nights (7pm showings)  I also now belong to a yahoo group that votes on what movie we want to see next...so cool. We had dinner at home, put CC in his pj's and drove down to watch The Time Traveler's Wife, a bit of a snooze but definitely got better in the middle-end. I almost made it through the movie without crying but the last 10 minutes got me :) Definitely interesting enough for me to have English Teacher discussion questions afterwards - which I'd love to propose for anyone interested after seeing this flick...won't post them now as I can't stand spoilers!

It was great to be in a theater so considerate of family needs: a) soft lighting during the film b) baby friendly sound levels. It was also a good experience to be surrounded by other families and be reminded how good we have it with our little guy.  The movie was full of parents/babies bouncing in the aisle, squeals & cries to be quieted by parents with neighbors who understood, blankets and toys on the floor for amusement.  It was especially good to know that my husband enjoyed himself - despite the chick flick title- and is looking forward to our next diaper date night :)

Cinco de Mayo

An excuse for a short dinner and margarita out on the town :-)

Stopping briefly on the drive home to appreciate the twilight hour....

Snuck in a moment together while Charlie dozed in the car...

Moss Beach - A World Away...

I'm working on keeping you updated with lots of photos to keep it spicy over here... I'm practicing for when the baby is here because I know that's all you'll really want to see :-)

Jose has been working a ridiculous amount and I knew that he had finally hit the wall. Yesterday we were able to sneak away early for dinner out of town (which meant that we left at 5:15 because he's been working to, well, midnight!)  Moss Beach is one of those places that really isn't that far from where we live but that we never get out to.  They have a great deck overlooking the ocean with fire pits where I think I could have sat for about the next three days.  The weather was so nice and cool, I didn't even wear my jacket! All preggies should get 10 months to live at the beach :-) It stayed light out pretty late and then when we went to take a couple photos it was so misty that it started doing funky things on camera - which I thought was cool after I figured out my camera wasn't broken!

We had a great night out, rehashed the days before we got engaged somewhat randomly and I know that it will be a night in my memory for a long time to come. I am so in love with this man it's ridiculous.
