Dakotas first and best date ever!


A while back I was reading someone else's blog I am pretty sure it was nienie and she wrote about one of her daughters getting an invitation to go on a date with her godparents. And so I shared the story with uncle derek and aunt tisha.
Two weeks ago dakota got an invitation in the mail for a night out with her aunt and uncle.
She was thrilled to say the least.
For the last two weeks I have been answering on a daily basis when the date would be.
And then today, the day was finally here
dakota woke up around 630 and from that point on at least once an hour..."when are uncle derek and aunt tisha going to be here?"
Clock winding down from a long day and they arrive at 545
car seat installed
hugs and kisses passed out
and off they went.
I should have given them my camera but then it might not have been their special time.
They went to sushi and from what i was told she tried everything but was a little too excited to really "eat".
Then it was off for frozen yogurt and a trip to the beach.
She arrived home happy and more in-love with her aunt and uncle, if that is possible.
There is nothing like quality time to make the heart grow fonder.
Thanks you guys she had an awesome time!

It is pretty great to be an uncle, that is for certain. We had a wonderful time and definitely look forward to more fun and joy in the future. She was a very great little girl at the sushi place and met several friends. All of which are very kind to her and appear delighted to make he acquaintance. Her and the sushi chef, who spoke very little english, hit it off right away. No booster seat and not the best seat selection and she couldn't see them making the sushi, which what I thought would be very entertaining for her. The only real challenge, as I have seen you deal with way better than we did, was getting that girl to settle down enough to eat. She tried tempura carrots, zucchini, shrimp, veggie roll, & crunchy roll. She liked the tempura shrimp most so we got her a bowl of rice too. The frozen yogurt was an easy sell and who isn't happy eating ice cream. Then we went and watched the surfers at the point for a little while, but it was too chilly to get out, for us, not her. We love you Dakota and always find a new respect for you and Randy and your ability to raise that little inquisitive ball of loving energy.

Have you been to Nie's blog lately? There is a pic of her. That woman is amazing.
