Date Night

We had our first date night tonight. It's hard to believe that it's been more than three months since we've been out alone together. We made all the preparations & our lovely landlord and friend, Karen, enthusiastically agreed to babysit for Lara at her apartment. It was girl's night for Karen and her daughter and Lara came prepared by packing her pj's. We left Lara not knowing what to expect since it was the first time she was left with someone other then her parents or her daycare lady.

Ahmar scored some tickets to a special screening of The Fighter at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica with a special Q&A with the director and Amy Adams. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie and it was interesting learning about the back stories of the characters and bits a pieces of the production process.

After the movie, we decided to take out some delicious hamburgers from R&D Kitchen and head home to pick up the little tyke. Karen raved about what a great baby she was and how she barely cried. We found Lara all snuggled up in her fuzzy blanket on the couch snoozing away. Daddy carried Lara back to the apartment and put her to bed. In the process of emptying her diaper bag we found a note:

'Lara was a complete joy! She likes to wiggle, loves her bottle.
Oh she likes Enya music. She's welcome anytime' -Karen

Date night was a success!
