Daddy-Mommy Date

Matt & I celebrated our 17th Wedding Anniversary yesterday.

We KNEW we were needing some time away from the kids, but WOW, we didn't realize how much we had really needed the time alone.  It was AWESOME!  My in-laws kept all of the kids - little man too, for about 6 hours.  During that time we were able to focus on each other, pray with and for each other, and just enjoy being buddies again instead of a tired mommy & daddy!

We have been so intentional on "bonding" with Baby Boy.  It has been SO good for his well being!  We have succeeded well, but maybe in the process, we had neglected our marriage more than I'd like to admit...

So if you're a Foster Family and you're noticing you've been a little short with your other half, maybe it's time to call a family member or friend and ask them to bless you with an extended date!  Beg if you have to...

Hope ya'll are doing well,
Mary
