Guys. Guys. GUYS! Rob and I went on a date tonight. Our lovely friends Rachel and Kelsi offered to watch Reagan while Rob and I went to dinner for some alone time and some wine (obviously).

We’ve never left Reagan with anyone since her metabolic crisis, but since Rachel is a NICU nurse at one of the best hospitals in the country and Kelsi used to work in the cath lab at one of the best hospitals, I figure, these girls can handle anything Reagan throws at them. Plus they wanted to give us a break…they wanted some Reagan time and they coordinated how to make it possible. Saying thank you does not seem adequate. But, Thank YOU ladies!!

While Rob and I were doing this…

leaving our neighborhood…out on the open road!

We were getting pictures like this…

Rachel, Kelsi and Reagan having a Girls night!

While Rob and I had a glass of wine (or two)…

Love this man.

Reagan learned to cook.

We are cooking up some fun over here Mommy and Daddy!!

And just in case anyone was worried, work has carried on as usual.

Reagan’s taking over and returning emails.

We are so blessed to have wonderful friends to give us a little break so that Rob and I can reconnect and take a breather. Reagan was an angel…Rachel and Kelsi said she never cried and was so happy to be playing with them. I mean, I’d be pretty stoked to hang out with them myself…actually, how come when we do hang out we don’t sit on the kitchen counter and bang on pots and pans? I’d like to re-think our girls nights so that we can incorporate this somehow.

To top it off…they even got Reagan to laugh…Bauer is a shoe in for getting laughter, but making Reagan fly over him, they figured out some of our tricks. We love you girls…thank you so much. But seriously…thank you SO MUCH for loving us and our girl.
