First Night Away from Mom and Dad

For our 3 year anniversary, Jen offered to keep Reese overnight so we could go to dinner and have a night to ourselves. It was wonderful. Reese was a little over 12 weeks old when she slept over night at Jen and Joe's - her first time away from mom and dad! We dropped her off at 7pm and she fell asleep at 7:05pm for the night. So they didnt get much awake Reese time until the morning. Jen told us she couldn't pick her up before noon the next day (we got her about 1pm). All went well and Reese slept for 11.5 hours in Jen's pack n play.

On our night out Ty and I went to The Summit (at Cinci State) and had a great dinner. They gave us a 'special table' and the chef sent out some complimentary dishes (bone marrow, foie gras). We weren't sure why, but enjoyed them. Then the chef came out and said "Hi Lauren"- but I still didnt know him. He thought I was another Lauren Brown. He seemed a little embarrassed, but we were thankful for the free food!

It was definitely weird to wake up and not have her here and not have anything to do. A nice little break, but we were happy to pick her up!

We plan to go out to a nice dinner (just the 2 of us) at least once a month. So far we're on track...hope we can keep it up!
