PACKERS LOSE!!!!

That is really all I need to say. Finally we will get somewhat of a break from all the non stop PACKER talk. I estimate another month of recap... but then to have only one story a night devoted to the Packers until next June when they start telling us about when practices are... At the end of the game the movie on NBC was interrupted for "breaking news" about the Packer loss. They had 6 reporters out in the field ready to capture the moment. (obviously planning on the win... waaa waaa waaa...) They interviewed a few fans when they left the stadium and it just made Jim and I laugh even harder... These people were so bundled up, intoxicated, and unable to put into words how disappointed they were... add the WI accent... and you got a comedy show. I do need to clarify my dislike of Packer obsessed fans... not the Packer players/team. They are a great team and had a great season. Just gets annoying to see people literally depressed when they lose, or hear about the rise in domestic disputes after a packer loss. And it is nice to finally have a break from the top 3 stories dealing with the Packers... how Brett Favre had a burger for dinner... and that the running back has a hangnail. Waaa waaa waaa!

Besides watching a great football game... Jim and I had a fantastic weekend. He got back from Beech Island around 7pm Friday night. We lounged around and crashed early Friday night. Saturday we cleaned the house, did some laundry, and played with Josh. He is really enjoying time standing at the coffee table and going to the couch, ottoman, chair, and back to the table. He tries to pull himself up when he falls down, but just isn't able to do it without help. He is completely content and will walk along the furniture to get whatever toys he wants.

He is still at the same point with crawling. Gets up on his hands and knees and rocks... moves one hand then flattens like a pancake and starts to fuss. He has mastered the army crawl with his right arm/elbow. And is able to get to most areas of the family room by rolling. Amazing how fast he can go from one side of the room to another just rolling.

Saturday night Jim and I had a true "date night". We had one of the girls from daycare come and watch Josh. It is so nice to have them come because they already know him well and he loves to see them when they arrive. So - back to our date night. We went out to the Melting Pot for dinner... it took 2 hours but we enjoyed relaxing, eating, and drinking some awesome wine. Then we went to see the new National Treasure movie. It was pretty darn good. We were going to go out for drinks and meet up with friends... but they were stuck at a holiday party and so we just went back home. Josh was apparently a good boy although had a tough time going to sleep. But he did sleep through the rest of the night.

Date Nights. Highly recommend them. It was nice to have "adult" conversation that of course had some to do with Josh but a lot was reminscing about the last 5 years we have known each other. Wow time flies! We are quickly approaching our 2 year anniversary.. CRAZY how much has changed.
