Josh & I went out Friday night.
My Mom had a been gone on vacation and wanted to spend some time with the kids when she got back (so we got an unplanned night off).
A few good-bye kisses.
And then dinner at Porter's in Medford (it's an old train station with crazy-good food).
Sweet potato fries, spinach dip, pear & blue cheese salad (for me) and some kind of beef dish for Josh.
And a few hours of feeling like "just a couple" (instead of "just Mom and Dad").
And we're so wild that we stayed out until 8:15pm.
Wow 8:15?! That's AMAZING! LOL!

I love how you capture your days & nights in photographs you'll be so glad you did in years to come. I only envy your camera or your photography skills one or the other, maybe both. Sigh!

Hey Karen,
I love reading your blog, found you on 2peas years ago, your Cole and my Coley are the same age and that struck me when you posted your pages there about 4 or 5 years ago.
And well I think you are a fantastic photographer and your writing is so true to life... I just had to write and say I enjoy reading your blog....LOLOLOL
Keep up the great story telling, and your great scrapbooking when you have time for it.
From a Canadian blog faithful reader eh

Cute pictures of you and Josh!!! Yes, we PARENTS need time awy from the kids much more often than what actually happens. My kids are teenagers and we still need time away by ourselves and I SO enjoy those together times!!! Never is there too many of those times. Enjoy them!!!! Life is SO short and the demands of a mother are so many. Your kids are cute and you're a great mother and I love the way you express yourself. You are my inspiration when it comes to scrapbook journaling and the way you express yourself on your blog - you are definitely gifted!!!
