Yesterday was such a beautiful day outside here! Almost 80 degrees, sunny, bright blue sky with white puffy clouds. It was just perfect!! We had to go outside with Cayman to enjoy it. And Grandma Jeanne if you are reading, we did put a hat on her to protect her from the wind and any air that could be still chilly. Mike and I took a short walk with Cayman. It was wonderful!!
When Cayman was in the hospital, I remember writing how I longed to be at home with her and Mike, relaxing on our couch, cuddled up watching TV. We finally did that together last night!! We rented some movies. Getting ready for a movie night is so different with a baby. Mike got the popcorn ready and something for us to drink. He took that downstairs and stuck the movie in. I was on the couch holding Cayman. Then she started crying. She wanted some food. So Mike got a bottle ready for her. I started feeding her, then we remembered we forgot to put her medicine in it. While Mike was doing that she pooped her pants and then was all fussy wanting them changed. So I changed her. Then she was crying because she wanted her bottle. By then Mike was done putting her medicine in the milk so I started feeding her again. Finally, we were ready to start the movie! We laughed as we thought about the difference between our movies nights before and after we had a baby! It was so much fun to have our first family movie night!!
Cayman went to her first restaurant today. It was Mom's Diner. It's a local restaurant that is a remake of the 1960's burger, french fries, pizza, soda and ice cream shop with mini juke boxes at each booth so you can play your favorite oldies. Mike said I made it sound cooler than it actually is. I'm guessing if you're not originally from here you would fall in love with this place, but having been born and raised here a place loses its luster from over-exsposure. We met Grandma Cindy, Aunt Madison, Aunt Stacey, and Uncle Dan there for supper.
Cayman was smiling big for Grandma Sue and I a lot this evening. However, whenever we'd pull the camera out the smiles would disappear. It happened everytime. It's like she was doing it on purpose to annoy us! This is the best of it we could capture.
Here's a couple more pictures from tonight

Movie nights are forever changed with a baby! My husband and I as well as friends of ours have tried on several occasions to get together but we always have to plan to have 4 hrs available for a two hour movie! Looking back I don't remember what we watched or how good the movies were but I have to laugh at the memories of the funny things that happened with the kids during the movies that i'll probably never forget.
Wow! That last picture reminds me how tiny she still is! And I, for one, still appreciate Mom's Diner. :)
She is adorable!!! (I know I say this almost everytime, but it's still true :p) Hey, I got my "Cayman Shirt" last night!!! I'm going to try to talk my friend into taking some photos this weekend to pass on to you. The shirt is beautiful!
My daughter, Dana, from Wapak Ohio told me about your blog spot. I have sat here for 2 hours, or more, to read the whole thing. You are an AWESOME couple/family. I love all the pictures. Cayman IS beautiful and such a trooper.
I have a foster daughter (18 yrs old) with Cerebral Palsy, cortical blindness, seizure disorder etc. She was born at 23 weeks and weighed 1 lb 12 oz. She wasn't suppose to live past 2. She has lived with me for 10 years and is my pride and joy.
Hang in there. YOU CAN & WILL MAKE IT. I'll be praying for you and daily checking your blog.
God bless.
