Sunday Date

We had a fun morning with the kids making jam from some of the plums on our trees. We had already made a lemon-sour cream plum cake, a plum tart and know that we can't keep making desserts every day, but didn't want to let all our fruit go to waste. The jam was a success and we made four jars and plan to make another few batches to share.

Blake and I had set up to leave the kids with Adam and Sonja for the afternoon and evening so we could do a date. Both our kids came down with runny noses this week, and I was thinking this would put an end to our plans, but my cousins were glad to have them snotty-nosed and all. We had an awesome time doing a little shopping, a movie and wine and dinner. Its so nice to be able to catch up with each other without distraction every now and then. Adam and Sonja and Eva and Wyatt always make it so fun for the kids, and Addie never wants to leave Eva! Luckily Finn has been back to his normal easy self now that those two new teeth broke through. I was so pleased to hear that he went down easily for Sonja and napped in a new environment...the last time he stayed there he was still in that easy newborn phase of sleeping anywhere, anytime.
