back to the land of dates few & far between

before elsie came along, the bigger kids were pretty used to us going out almost every other weekend. but when they were little, it took awhile for us to get out because they were all soooo clingy. elsie is no different. the few times we’ve left her she is a mess. but last sunday… the day i took those pictures above, little miss elsie was glorious for my mom!  i can’t tell you how wonderful that feels… to be able to leave the bambino and have her happy.. and her caretaker happy…not ready to pull her hair out. 🙂 and of course to be able to have some time away from the kiddos. whom we love of course, but chris and i are big date people. we love our dates. 🙂 thanks els and thanks mom. xoxoxoox
