Father and Sons

Today Austin is officially a year and a half, and in celebration of our monster getting so big Devon took him last night to the Father and Sons camp out. That's right folks, Devon took Austin camping by himself and I got to spend my night however I wanted! It was fabulous. I ended up spending a wonderfully quite night at home chatting with my sister on MSN which was tons of fun because they finally got high speed Internet and we both got our web cams up and running. I didn't go anywhere, do anything...It was wonderful. I didn't even make dinner for myself. I was planning on grabbing some pizza or a burrito and this wonderful Mexican place down the street but I didn't feel like leaving so I didn't! Nobody ever asked me "when's dinner" "what's for dinner tonight" "can we go out" nothing! It was a nice break. As for Devon and Austin, they came back around 11:00 this morning and Devon said that it went great! Austin slept all night, he had fun running around getting dirty and exploring. Devon enjoyed it and said he would do it again...that's right, it went so well he won't hesitate doing it again! It's music to my ears. Austin really is such a good boy and it will be such a joy to see how he interacts with Kate. I really can't wait. So in closing I just want to give a shout out to my wonderful husband for being such a great dad and a brave father, taking an 18 month old camping by himself at a site an hour away.
