A date at the Dolphins Game

Yesterday night we went to the Dolphins game. Carlos and Titi slept at Luke and Mimi's so we did not have to worry about coming back early to pick them up. It felt kind of strange to have so much freedom but it was good to remember the old times . We have been sitting at the same seats for years and years and it felt great to go back there and remember how it was before we had kids. We saw some people that we had not seen in years. We all are getting old! One of the last times I remember being at the stadium is when Carlos was only 1 and Don was carring him on his shoulders. I know I have been there a couple of other times since then but not much.

Don and I don't go out much by ourselves. We try to only ask Mimi and Luke to watch C&T when it is something that we have been invited to and cannot miss to attend. We know they never say no, but it is not fair to them to use their weekend taking care of two very active kids.

Lately we have had the opportunity to go out more by ourselves and it has felt a little strange but good. Last week Carlos and Titi insisted on going to a gym that has a parent's night out and we suddenly found ourselves with time to go out for dinner. Don was tired and was looking forward to spending some relaxing time at home but we went to a restaurant and had a good time. Then on Sunday Mimi took Carlos and Titi to the movies and again we had some hours to ourselves. We decided to use the time to go to Home Depot and Costco since I never want to go with the kids. What a luxury to be able to talk to Don without interruptions!
