I Can Only Imagine... Eating Margarine?

These kind of paradies always bring a smile to my face... and the girls ask "What's so funny?" while watching this over my shoulder. They don't get it. Soon there'll be lots of days when I will just laugh to myself for no apparent reason and the girls will just think "that's just our crazy mom." Yes, I too, am aging. Hopefully gracefully!

A Wonderful Date!

It's been too long since I've had a nice date with my main squeeze. It finally worked out for Greg and I to drive on down to Cherry Creek and look for a happenin' place to eat dinner. We stumbled upon "Cherry Creek’s fabulously trendy Restaurant of the Moment", North. The dining room was full and only outside seating was available. That was fine with us. It was a pleasant evening... just the perfect temperature. We sat on the sidewalk and watched all the dog walkers and Land Rover drivers pass us by while we enjoyed our fabulous meal. We were served a delicious mixed green salad with pine nuts, avocado, golden raisins, and feta. And we split the Chicken Parmesan entree. Add on a side of grilled Asparagus. Yum!! It was just enough so we had room for dessert.

For that part of our date, we visited a local Denver favorite, Bonnie Brae Ice Cream for that little somethin' somethin' to top off a great night. The line was out the door and down to the corner, and then some, if that gives you an idea of how loved this place is. The homemade ice cream was such a special treat! Greg licked the peppermint, while I had a dose of Cappucino Crunch. Yum yum!!

Thanks, honey, for a wonderful night. And a shout out to K-Rod for watching our kiddos (even though they talked her into a late bedtime so that they could watch all of Extreme Home Makeover). Yes, she is now a favorite sitter!!

P.S. I was a winner (one of five) in the drawing below for Blue Bunny Ice Cream! Yea! Looks like MORE ice cream is in my future!! :) I guess posting about it for that extra entry in the drawing paid off!

Boys and Bats!

What is it about boys and bats? Notice Ryan carries his bat everywhere! He even crawls with a bat in each hand. Perhaps we have a future baseball player in our midst. Lookout Matt Holliday! And he's already 11 months old, people! Where has the time gone? My baby is a little baseball bat-loving boy!

Baby Friends Growing Up...

Emily and Abby had the pleasure of spending some time with Joshua and Adin Marmon yesterday. They have been friends since they were babies. Now they live in Texas but distance made no difference. They picked up where they left off and had great fun together.
