Not only did he watch the kids while I went to a movie this afternoon (by myself!!!) but he is cooking dinner with the kids too. This afternoon he watched the kids while I went to watch
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II. I have wanted to see that movie since it came out. A year and a half ago Laura got me the set of books that the movie is based on for my birthday. Later, I watched the first movie and then when I saw the preview for the second one, I immediately called Laura to tell her that they were coming out with the second movie. It was really cute. I wish I still lived by Laura so that we could go and watch it together! Anyway, it was awesome to be able to get away to take a break. It was the first time I had been away from Leo for any length of time. He did really well. They also both did really well in nursery at church today. Since we moved they didn't want to stay in the nursery without us there. We both got to see a complete, uninterrupted sermon for the first time since we moved. Now, Dave is cooking up bacon to make grilled turkey and bacon sandwiches for dinner. We should only have 1 or 2 meals left from the turkey we made on Friday. We have been eating left-overs all weekend. (Everything turned out great by the way! I didn't mess up any part of the meal! WooHoo!) Have I mentioned lately that I have the greatest husband in the world!
Here is Dave showing Alaina how to use the tongs:
Leo was watching on.
Yesterday Alaina asked me to take pictures of her. For the first picture she fell over in the chair right as I was taking the picture. She wasn't hurt by the way.
This is how she smiles for the camera. She closes her eyes because she doesn't like the flash.
I have to take her by surprise to get her eyes open.
Making funny faces. (Guess who taught her that.....Grammy...)
And Alaina about ready to take the camera away from me.
Hope you are all enjoying your extended weekend. 2 weekends from now we are going to an airshow. The Blue Angels and some other groups are coming to our area. Hopefully Grandpa and Grammy Johnston are able to come and see them with us! We have already told Alaina about the show and she is really excited!

Alaina's hair is getting so long...what's your secret? I hope the movie was great, I really wish we could have seen it together! Doesnt it remind you of us hanging out in high school? (ha ha ha,...NO!) Love ya!
I too would like to know the secret to her long hair - our baby girl's hair is still very very short. Loved the falling over chair shot, and congrats on your Turkey dinner. I remember how proud I was of the first one that came out perfect too. :o)
