chet is 4 months old today. craaazy.

matt and i love going on dinner and/or movie dates.
but, now that we have mr. chet, they aren't as easy to do.
when i was pregnant our family and friends (who already had kids) told us to go out on lots of dates. they told us that we would miss how easy it is to go out without any littles ones to worry about.
we appreciated their advice, but definitely didn't know how right they were.
until now!
we used to go to so many movies that we would have a hard time finding one in the theaters that we hadn't seen. now, there isn't one movie showing that we have! oh, how things have changed.
so...all you parents-to-be listen when i say GO ON DATES!
and hold hands. strollers, car seats, and chet make it a lot harder to hold hands.
matt has been super busy with school lately. finishing up final projects, presentations, and exams. he is almost done another semester. he is doing so well. i am very proud of him. but, all his school work means that we haven't been up to a whole lot. we did manage to spend some time outside yesterday. it was another lovely day. we all looked at little red by the end.
we played frisbee, ate freezies, and...did homework.
tank stole a cookie from a little boy at the park. what a bully.
matt's brother, mitch, bought chet a blanket. not a baby blanket. a big, fuzzy, nature blanket. with an eagle on it. and a dreamcatcher. (mitch and matt have a silly love for nature things. and mystical things. things like unicorns, centaurs, fairies, and wolves howling at the moon. oh dear.) i wasn't too sure about the blanket at first, but it has honestly been so handy. so, thanks mitch! we take it on every picnic and trip to the park. the only problem is that we get a lot of funny looks when we whip this beauty out!
