Last night while my parents were here, Owen and I went out for dinner. It was the first time we had been alone together since Eilish (AKA The Savage, AKA The Dictator) was born. On the way to the restaurant I started to talk to Owen about baby stuff but stopped myself - this was Date Night - I shouldn't be talking about the baby, so Owen talked about basketball or hockey or something and I sat in silence making a mental list of Eilish related items to talk to him about once we got home. I was absolutely giddy by the time we got to the restaurant and didn't care about the 20 minute wait. I told Owen that we could be eating Tostitos in the car for all I care, so happy was I to be out.
While waiting for our table I had half a pint of Rickard's Red at the bar and was half drunk by the time we sat down. We looked at the menu, looked at each other and spent the rest of the dinner talking about Eilish and how cute she is and how she reminds us of each other when she yawns or stretches.
Speaking of Eilish, she smiled at me TWICE this morning. Ma & Pa were here to witness and confirm the smile and I have to say it was the greatest smile ever smiled by anyone who's smiles. Hopefully in the next couple weeks she starts to smile more and we'll catch in on camera.

I'm so happy to hear that you were able to get out. I think it was like almost 6 months before Gene and me got out on our own. One thing I learned is that you need to spend alone time with your partner but when you are alone you always end up talking about your kids. But it's really nice!
