Had a great day today (for a few hours anyway), just the wife and me. Sherri has some relatives who “snowbird” (yes, I’m making it a verb) in Zephyrhills, FL, about an hour from here. They graciously offered to watch Rowan for a few hours so we could have some “sane time”.

What did we do on our mid-day date? Japanese lunch at Seito in Celebration, followed by an amazing hour of just sitting in a rocking chair and doing jack squat. It was heaven. We love our little boy more than I ever thought it was possible, but we both desperately needed to recharge our batteries by having time on our own, and soaking up some Florida sun.

The little guy did swell with his great-aunt Eunice and great-uncle Ian, and Sher and I even had a little time left over for some Celebration geocaching (50% success rate).

They’ve offered to babysit for us every week, but that was before they did the chore today. We’re awaiting their phone call, but we’ll see how it goes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
