This past weekend Auntie Em and Uncle Greg came up to see us. This visit was amazing. If you do not know I'm a perfectionist and I tend to want to make everybody happy and I get all stressed out when people visit because I want it to be perfect. However, this weekend I was up front with Greg and Em that Jackson doesn't really sit still to go out to dinner. We can go out to dinner, but he can only handle about 30 minutes before he is ready to run. They were so understanding that they offered to just bring dinner home (which is what we normally do) or maybe they didn't want to be embarrassed by Jackson. :) After dinner Jackson and Lux played in the living room. It was great to see Jackson and Lux play since this is really the first time Jackson has been around a big dog. Lux is a 19 month old Golden Retriever - she is still a puppy herself. Jackson would get Lux's attention and then he start running around the coffee table and Lux would just chase him and once she caught up to him, she would lick him. Jackson would just giggle and smile when Lux licked him. This went on for about 30 minutes. It was too funny.
On Sunday we went to Sonic as it's brand new in Appleton. As we pulled up to Sonic we were met by a employee and he told us that Sonic was only open to people with a V.I.P pass. We said ok we will come back when Sonic is open to the public. The man then said no come on in I will act like you gave me a V.I.P pass. Then he went on to say that our entire meal is free because it was training for the servers. What a sweet deal!!! We got $28.00 worth of food free! This is when the situation started...As we went to leave Mark says the car won't start. I'm like stop messin with us. He then tried to start the car again and it won't start. Could it have been a worst time? We had Jackson and Lux in the car and we just took out the jumper cables and stroller so Lux could sit in the back end. What luck is that? So, Mark and Greg pushed the car out of Sonics driveway and the guy who let us in free got an employee to jump our car. Even though the car died the free food was worth it!

I LOVED all your new posts! I think you are just finding out that parenthood/motherhood means being creative when having fun. We rarely go out to dinner, but SAVOR it when we do AND we just have people over when we want to talk... they NEVER seem to mind! Dinners out will be there one day...cute little boys won't!... oh, and how can I score some of those adorable puppy slippers...hint,hint!! Love you!
