David's Birthday

Today is David's birthday so last night we had some friend's over for BBQ, cake and presents. The top present was a video iPod, which I dropped (!) as I was bringing it downstairs. Thank goodness I had wrapped the iPod box, placed it in another box, wrapped that box and finally put it in a bigger box before wrapping that. I think the extra cushioning saved me from buying ANOTHER video iPod!

Kyle is going out with his babysitter Rosa today for a movie and dinner. I think David and I are going to use the time for a movie and dinner, too. I'm sometimes amazed at couples that don't have a babysitter - maybe it's because we don't have any family around to fill in so we've always had to find a good sitter. When we were in Topeka my neighbor Tami would watch Kyle for us when he was a baby and our friend Peggie took care of him sometimes, too. Then we started hiring this cute neighbor girl, Racquel. Of course one of the first things we did when we moved to Augusta was start asking around for a great sitter and Rosa has now been with us for three years!!! I'm grateful for her because I know the monthly dates that David and I have help our relationship a lot.
