Home Alone

Mom and Annette have the kids for several days.  We met them yesterday after the party.  They are keeping the children so we can have some alone time and celebrate our 10th Anniversary.  When we met them, Annette and Mom gave us a bag of goodies to celebrate with; money to eat out with, a vegan apple pie, chocolate clusters, and sparkling Organic Apple Cider.  I was totally surprised by that; it was totally enough they were willing to care for our kids for four days.  JJ, Mads, Kalen and Brady were so excited.  Even though it was a little hard pulling away, I knew they would have a ball and we would treasure our time together, just Scott and me.  


Indeed we are enjoying ourselves.  Last night, Scott took me out to Mellow Mushroom and then to the new performing arts place in Durham hosting Harry Connick, Jr. and his band.  It was amazing!!!  I have always loved Harry.  

Today, we are off to Chapel Hill to do a little lunch and shopping.  Tah tah!
