Wow, January just blew right past me!

J’s been traveling a lot, unfortunately, but Madeline & I keep plenty busy with friends, playgroup & Little Gym. I think this will be our last semester in Little Gym (we’ll move on to a more preschool like activity, hopefully), but Madeline loves it – she really likes to walk the balance beam, with help of course!

Also, my parents were able to come out for a visit this month, which was great! Madeline really took to her Nana & Papa – no shyness at all. :) My parents even graciously babysat one afternoon so J & I could go watch a movie (The Blind Side – we liked it)

Lucci Visit

Madeline has had a little trouble with the nursery at Church – she’s cried every time we’ve left her…enough that our number gets flashed up on screen. We’re hoping that will get better over time. Cross your fingers! I know it’s normal, but it just rips your heart out to hear your kid crying for you.

This weekend J & I also went on a real date – we met another couple (he served with the husband in Afghanistan) at Salty’s on Alki. We even had *gasp* a babysitter. Not that she had to do anything – we put Madelne down before we left. She’s the daughter of one of J’s coworkers and seemed responsible enough, just so young – 17! (gosh, was I that young EVER??? I sure don’t remember it.)

Anyhow, it was nice to get out, but Salty’s, while having gorgeous views back of the city – even on a rainy/foggy night – was waaay overpriced. We didn’t feel at all the food was worth the cost – and the service was slow. Definitely won’t be going back. I suppose it’s good for the tourists, but not worth it to us! But the company was really good & Madeline was sleeping peacefully when we got back, so all in all I count it a successful evening! We’ll definitely have Megan sit for us again. :)
