30-Before-30 #2 Take Sleepy on a Mother Son Date

Sleepy and I had a wonderful dinner date last Saturday.

We chose to eat in because all the other family members were away from home. 

Sleepy picked, toasted honey ham sandwiches, and macaroni salad.

We enjoyed our flashlight lit dinner, while discussing the important issues of a 6 year old boys life.

Sleepy giggled lots, and really enjoyed his quiet time alone with Mom.

He then asked me to dance with him to the music we had playing in the background.  Let me just say there is not much sweeter than dancing with your tiny son. 

Thoroughly enjoying having a son

Ok ~ So I have not forgot all of you!!!

We just had so many wonderful blessings from the Lord these past couple of weeks, that have required us to work an insane amount of extra hours, that I've not been able to blog.

I will be back when this exciting stuff settles down long enough to type a decent blog post, and fill you all in on the Good News!

Thanks for your patience
