Date Night

Eric and I had a great date night on Saturday. We hadn't been on a date in over a year! We went to Steve Fields in Plano. We hadn't been out to a nice restaraunt like that in a long time. The food was amazing! Eric was afraid I would be worried about Makenzie all night and not be able to relax. Seriously, all it took was walking through the door of the restaraunt. We were through with our appetizer and I looked at Eric and said, "Oh my gosh, I haven't even thought about Makenzie!" Because it was our anniversary the waiter brought us chocolate cake and a card. It was really nice to celebrate us. After dinner we went to The Shops at Legacy and had a couple drinks at a place called Coast. It was great to sit back, relax, and be a couple for a while. Makenzie did really well with Tiffany. We didn't get any phone calls and Tiffany said she didn't cry at all when we left. As a matter of fact, Makenzie waved good-bye to us as we walked out the door. I was shocked and relieved. My little girl is growing up, and finally I can be an adult again and not just a mom.

Future Athlete

Our excursion to Eric's track meet went really well. Makenzie was amazing during the car ride both there and back, yeah! She had a great time being outside, playing in the grass, and running away from Mommy. She was very excited to see Eric. Many nights during season (track or football) she doesn't get to see him. This was the first time that she cried when he handed her back to me. It melted his heart. He commented on it when he got home last night. He is wrapped around her little finger. For only being one Makenzie is very brave and very active. I was literally chasing after her over and over again! It looks like we may have a future athlete on our hands.

Family Pictures

We finally got family pictures taken. We wanted to commemorate Makenzie turning one. Of course we wanted a family picture as well. We went to Babies R Us/Kiddie Kandids and they did a good job. There were a lot of options to choose from. We are really pleased with the way things turned out. Makenzie was really great through the whole process. Thank goodness.

Today Makenzie and I are going to Plano to see Eric's track team compete. I hope the weather is nice and that his team does well. This will be our first track meet to attend this season. I'm really looking forward to it. Also, it gives me an opportunity to show off Makenzie. She hasn't been very good in her car seat the last several times we've gone somewhere, but I hope today is an exception. Hopefully we'll be able to turn her car seat around soon, but she has to gain some weight first. Looking forward to a beautiful day and hopefully a peaceful drive.
