Venturing out!

We;'re off to Savannah for the weekend to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary! Crazy, because it doesn't feel like that is a very long time considering all that we have done and accomplished in that amount of time. But wow, it sure has flown by fast! Pete is surprising me with a few things, so I am really excited about that. I have been told that he is wearing a sport coat out on Friday evening and that I should dress accordingly with that in mind....interesting.

Krista will watch the kids for us too, so it will be great to have a little Pete and Kate time! We are also going to the beach on Saturday and then out for drinks on Saturday evening. It almost feels like a mini vacation away from home! I know the kids will have a blast too, especially at the beach.

We actually left the house today fro the first time in FIVE days...yes it's been a tough week with sick kids. But they were feeling better today, so we ventured out to find Nate a pool (the promised treat for learning to have a bowel movement in the potty!) and to get an ice cream cone. The ice cream was just a flash of what I thought to be genius and empathetic toward two children who've been stuck at home with nothing to do, but play with each other and the new fort we constructed in the living room. And they were excited, mostly. Nate was more interested in the slide at the ice cream place and Juliana was exhausted by our small trip across town and the fact that she was already late for her nap. And then, and then, the ice cream took a tumble into the mulch....Fabulous idea Kate, just fabulous! Oh well, it was worth the try, and wow, I can't believe how much better I feel after getting out and about for even two small hours!

Love, Kate
