Well, Sean's first birthday has come and gone, and we really partied it up! He loved having his cousins and friend over to play. They ran (and he crawled) up and down the hallway all night! It really cracked us up! Sean giggled and chased and watched and chased and giggled some more. I love how he loves other kids. It makes me want to find more time in my day to get him together with other kids. He is absolutely spoiled by my mom all day and has the pleasure to hang out with his parents all night, but some times I think he needs more. Enjoy his birthday pictures. He really enjoyed himself.
We are heading to Cabo San Lucas on Sunday and can't wait! This winter has been so long! I am a little nervous to travel with Sean, but we went shopping this weekend and got him some new toys to open on the plane. I am hoping this will help! Our flight is early, so I am hoping he might sleep, but I am not going to count on it! He is going to love the beach and pool, I can barely get him out of the tub most days!
Otherwise, life is going on as usual. We are very lucky to have each other, our families, and friends. We only wish we could see everyone more.
We did begin using a babysitter...and it went great! She is 20 years old and I am friends with her mom. Sean loves her, and she actually wants to come back so that is a good sign! Our first date night was pretty comical. We told her we'd be home around 10, and that we'd be going to dinner and a movie. Well, we went to dinner and had a very nice time. We only looked at the end of the table (where Sean would've been sitting) a dozen or so times. When we finished dinner it was 8pm, so we were too late for a movie. We tried to think of something to do to keep us out until 10. Well, we went to the mall and looked at all the campers on display. I could've shopped, but Graham wasn't in the mood for that:) The mall closes at 9pm, so we then decided to go get gas and wash the car. Now it was 9:15. Well, we needed cash to pay the sitter, so we drove across town to our bank and got some cash. Now it was 9:20. We decided to stop at one of our favorite bars for a drink, this was a good idea, and it gave us a little time to laugh about our night. Needless to say, we were home right at 10pm. We couldn't wait to kiss our boy and rub his back. I hear it gets easier. We'll try again when we return from our trip!

I do love the birthday pictures and stories! What a cute little man! He is so lucky to have his cousins nearby!
Your date night story sounded funny--and all too familiar! We have ended up at Target, just walking around, more than once on a date night! We never want to return too early and make the sitter think we don't trust her or something! Sounds like yours ended perfectly, though.
It was a great night out. We enjoyed each other and enjoyed talking about our little man. How are the new jobs going? I have been praying for you! What an awesome thing to do for yourselves and family. It will all work out better than you dreamed. You are both so talented.
