When the Sun Comes Out...

Hallelujah! We had such a beautiful day here on Sunday and it seemed like the spirits of the whole city of Vancouver were lifted! Of course Kristy loves any excuse to dress-up Macy and give her some cool accessories. I don't know though, those glasses look awfully reminiscent of a famous singer (Elton John anyone??). I'm not quite sure yet if Macy likes the sunny weather or not. It's not like we've had but 2 days of nice weather since she's been born though! One of my favorite things to do is take her for a walk around our neighborhood. We have a lot of nice paved sidewalks and little parks all around us to take Macy in her stroller. Besides, it's a good chance for us to get outside, get some exercise and get some fresh air. When we first had Macy, it seemed as though we were cooped-up in the house way too much. I really felt like I was getting cabin fever. Now Kristy and I feel comfortable with taking Macy pretty much wherever we need to go. Aside from Macy getting a little sun, I was able to do some stuff around the house. I have found that PM (Post-Macy) I have felt the need to do some constructive things with our dwelling place whether that be fixing things inside the house that have been neglected for far too long or sprucing up our limited yard space around our home. I have to be honest, it's quite invigorating and fullfilling.
Newsflash: Kristy and I got to go on our first date since Macy was born last Friday! We were originally going to go to a movie but on our way to drop Macy off at the babysitter (some great folks from church) Kristy realized she forgot to bring the bottle. So we had to turn around and go back to get it which botched our movie plans. That however, did not ruin our night. After we left Macy with sitters we went... Bowling! It's been a while since we did that and after a couple of games we went to the cool arcade section of the bowling alley to play. We then grabbed a bite to eat just before we had to get back and get the little one. On a side note, the place we ate at was called the Doner Haus and it serves these "gyro type" sandwiches which are out of this world. It's got a cool German themed environment and killer food. Just thought I'd throw that in there. Back on track, one of the nicest things about the date was that we didn't talk any baby stuff. It's not that we don't desperately love our girl but we just need a time-out on occassion. I wonder when other people have their first date after the birth of their child. Anyone want to chime in? We're blessed to have a ton of people at our church willing to take Macy for an evening (could you blame them?) so I figure we'll be taking advantage of that on a regular basis.

That's all for now, I hope that at least a few people are enjoying these blogs because I'm actually starting to like writing them!
