Our second date out since Gavin

Brent's mom, Pam, and step-dad, Bob, holding their first grandchild: Gavin!

Our very first date out was when Gavin was only nine days old, and I wanted to take Brent out for his 30th birthday. Little did we know how hard it would be to leave our tiny son when we asked my mom and step-dad to come babysit. We were both in tears before we were even out of our neighborhood. The second time we left him, however, no tears were shed and we were glad to have some time together just the two of us. The grandparents will always be the most eager, qualified and appreciated babysitters for sure! Brent and I realize how important it is for us to maintain our own relationship so that we can be the best and most loving mommy and daddy to Gavin.
