This past weekend Andy and I were home alone! We met the grandparents on Saturday morning and the children stayed with them until Monday morning. 48 WHOLE hours, just us!
Andy made a plan. Saturday would be my day to do all that I wanted, and Sunday would be his. For my day, I got a bubble bath and gave myself a mani/pedi. Andy packed the suitcases for the kids, I didn't have to do a thing! After the kids were dropped off, we went shopping! We found several unique boutiques and antique markets...my favorite! Andy convinced me to buy something. I bought this little nest necklace and I love it! We also bought Lydie a sweet pink necklace to give to her at her ballet recital.

Andy made reservations at a beautiful, quaint restaurant near downtown Birmingham called Little Savannah. They only serve local meat and produce and have bought organic produce from our farm. We enjoyed a long, quiet meal complete with cocktails and fresh, unique food. We were going to go to a movie, but we decided to come home and enjoy being here, just us.

The next day we went to church. Afterwards, we came home for a quick lunch and then off to the lake. We went fishing together for a while, and then while Andy continued I took several hours to write and sketch. WHAT A DAY! The weather was perfect- cool and sunny. After cleaning up at the lake house, we went to one of our favorite bar and grills nearby. Then we came home and watched a movie.

Monday morning we got up and had coffee and time to chat. This just NEVER happens in the morning, as I am out the door with the kids by 6:15 and too tired on the weekends. It was a very special treat. We HAVE to do this more often!!
