What an amazing surprise...for our anniversary (the weekend prior) BearHunter planned a weekend away! I was totally blown away, for one, that he pulled all the details together and secondly, that I had no clue.
Friday started out with breakfast in bed, chocolate chip pancakes reminding me of our engagement. Then he casually suggest we go on a walk for a "quiet time" together. That sounded good so I agreed. Then came the blindfold. We drove to a nearby B&B, owned by our friends, and he quietly led me down the steps to the door. "I've kidnapped you for the weekend" he whispers. I was gleefully astonished. He cleared my schedule as much as possible, God cleared the rest of it. We found a gift certificate for a dinner date in the room, and a special cake in the refrigerator. Wow, what a suprise blessing.
Squeakums is with us, though our host babysat him last night for while and tonight another friend will watch him while we go out for our dinner date. We've enjoyed the space to let him play on the floor while we sit on a couch or at a table nearby at this B&B. We don't have the luxury of much personal space where we live, so this is wonderful. He didn't sleep too well, but hopefully tonight that will be better. He has a bit of a stuffy nose, a possible cold or teething, waiting on tooth number three. He's 9 months old now, crawls well, climbs stairs, stands up and sits down. He's discovered a high pitched voice, in addition to his usual rumblings and we love listening to his self talk.
