just the two of us

it was date day in the godshall house. a couple weeks ago when we were at story hour at the library, we had visitors from a theater. they had a drawing of everyone that was there...and we won! i've never won anything like that. we got two tickets to see the children's play they were putting on, 'alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day'. i love how God works, just 3 days before we won the tickets we had gotten the book box from papa and gg, and that book was enclosed!

so this morning isaiah woke up ready to go, we had built it up so much and made such a big deal about he and mommy going on a 'date' together. and it lived up to our expectations. we got breakfast in the theatre, and stayed at our table to watch the play. we were in the front, dead center. isaiah sat the entire time, laughing, singing and shouting at all the appropriate times.

he is so grown up. we had so much fun just being the two of us...i think i might have to make it a tradition. unfortunately i don't have any pictures to show you, BECAUSE I FORGOT THE CAMERA AT HOME!

but that actually worked out to our benefit.

matt decided to take advantage of his 'date' time with alaythia. and i'm sorry, but what you're about to read will make you love matthew forever...if you don't already.

he dug through our unpacked boxes and found a tea set that alaythia had been given a while back. he set out a blanket on the floor, invited all alaythia's friends, (annie, june, meesh and baby doll) and put on a tea party. they had 'milk-tea' and 'water-tea', grapes and cheese. matt said that alaythia looked so amazingly cute as she rose her tea cup to her lips and drank. can you see it, matthew sitting on floor on a blanket with his daughter and all her beloved 'friends', drinking milk out of the tiniest tea cup you can imagine? i'm glad that i was where i was this morning, but there's a part of me that wished i could have witnessed it.

yep, alaythia's first tea party was given by her dad, just the two of them, his very own idea. and BY THE GRACE OF GOD the camera was at home because i had forgotten it.
