It's A Date!

Not a phrase heard in our house very often. In fact, not at all in about six months. Between the house and then Maddux, Lehr and I have not had any date time recently other than watching the Cubs after the kids go to bed at night. (Speaking of which, post-season, here we come!!!) This weekend we had three able-bodied baby-sitters in our house, so we took full advantage and got out. About a week ago I suggested to Lehr that (in the spirit of kid-free time) we get out on our bikes since that is something we rarely get to do anymore. And when we do, we have to take turns riding the trails so one of us can watch the kids while the other rides. After Maddux woke up (at 8:10AM - the streak continues!!), we bolted. Although the lake was incredibly low due to drought conditions, the weather was awesome: perfect for a ride. We both managed to not injure ourselves and finish in respectable time, despite the fact that we've not ridden at all in 2007. We came home to find Maddux asleep and Eli out front playing golf with Gappa Jib. Life is good.
