Date Night

This past Friday Colin and I went on our first 'date' since Ellie was born. The college that he works at had a formal end-of-the-year banquet for the graduating seniors, so we got to get all dressed up and go out for a night. A friend of ours also had a going-away party the same night, so after the banquet we went there for a bit. My Mom and Dad came down and spent the night with Ellie as well so we were able to have a fun night out without worries. Dinner and drinks capped off with a full-night's sleep - a new Mom and Dad's dream! =)

AND, on the subject of sleep...Ellie had a big milestone last night - she slept through the night!! She slept straight from 8:00 pm to 5:00 am - I couldn't believe it when I woke up before her! And when she got up at 5:00, it was a quick bottle and back to sleep 'til 7:00. You know you're a new parent when sleeping in 'til 7:00 am is so exciting! I'm not going to get my hopes up too high just yet as it was just one night, but at least we know she CAN do it now. We'll see what tonight brings...

Our friends, the Goulets, came to visit on Saturday as well. They live just a few miles from us now so I'm sure we'll have a few more get-togethers with the warmer weather just around the corner. We're also very excited to have two future babysitters so close by! =) Ellie wasn't too social with the company though - she slept the entire time!
