Eat, play games and talk.

Stuff we know we like. I often times feel like Steve and I want to be together and say to ourselves "if we had more time together then we would xyz"...Well what is xyz? We have been thinking lately what we enjoy as individuals, and as a couple, and as a family. One thing we know we like is eating, going for a ride, a place where the kids can have fun, and something that is fun and relaxing. We woke up yesterday and planned a last minute get away to Madison. Upon finding that Buddy and Carrie would generously take our company, and mom would be available too, we went on up to Indiana after church. We had a great time. We got a red box movie and ate on the way. Steve and I talked without the TV or computer in front of one of our faces. Then we got to Buddy's where all the kids played and had a blast. We visited, ate, and broke out Rock Band (that we didn't play nearly long enough because time ran out and so did the kids' ability to cope.) The food was delicious and my diet and I even broke up for apple pie and ice cream (we already were not on good terms). On the way home, we decided...now that is what we like to do as a family. Eat, play games and talk.

This is a pic of the kids when we could get them to take a break and sit for a minute...
