Mommies' Day Out!

Yesterday was the first time we have been out and hired a REAL babysitter.  Not a friend.  Not someone who was doing us a really nice favor by watching our first born child.  A babysitter named Andrea.  Okay, it's not like we found her on Craigslist, she works for Liz.  But we paid her in real dollars.  The excuse, you ask?  Sarah Denney and Ben Johnson's wedding! 

Liz and I left the house at around 1pm and headed out to the wedding.  The day was amazing...record-setting temperature of 84 degrees.  Since the wedding was outside, we got to take advantage of the great fall day.  The leaves were changing, and all through the ceremony they fell from the trees around Sarah and Ben.  A completely magical day.  Then around 4, we headed over to Gale Woods Farm for the reception.  We didn't even call Andrea ONCE on our drive over to the reception.  Full disclosure: she did text us around 5 to tell us that both of the boys (Sully and Jude) had been fed and walked. Fantastic!

While Andrea was taking care of Juders, we were posing for pictures with our friends Donna and David . 

 The woman who took our picture was a little crazy.  Who knows how we look, but the scenery is great!

 And the bride wore cowboy boots.  LOVE IT!

We did leave the party around 8pm to come home and relieve Andrea, but we had a GREAT 7 hours out.  She didn't have any trouble getting him to sleep, and all was right with the world when we walked in the door.  Jude slept until about 715, so it looks like he had a good time hanging out at home with Andrea.
