Our first date came after we'd been carpooling for more than a year, so we already knew each other very well, but it was still exciting. I actually earned the date as a prize for completing a photo scavenger hunt that Matt sent me on when I was making a road trip back to Taylor. (He had a plan.) What a prize! The date was pretty normal, dinner and a movie, but like I said, exciting!
We celebrated tonight by babysitting for some friends of ours whose two girls were born within days of each of our two girls. It's like having two sets of twins when they come over, and they're very dear to us. Joe's outnumbered but doesn't seem to mind being the only boy, since he's still the oldest and gets to be in charge. These girls just got a new baby brother last month, so Joe will soon have some more masculine company.
