Big day

Today was a busy day for us.
We met our friends Suzanna and Caroline this afternoon to go walking/shopping and enjoy the nice weather. Caroline is only 10 days older than Riley and Colter. All the babies slept for most of the time, but I'm sure the play dates will get more exciting in the future. I definitely enjoyed catching up with Suzanna.
We got home just in time to see Jeff pulling in the driveway. Jeff and I were excited because Jeff's parents and their family friend, June, were coming over to babysit Riley and Colter. They had also offered to babysit Amy and Michael's son, Bryce, so we could go on a double date. It had been a long time since the four of us had been out together, so we were really grateful.
June gave us the most adorable socks when the babies were born. Here's Riley with her Mary Janes on and Colter with his cowboy boots on.
When our babysitters arrived, Papa Jim had a surprise for Riley and Colter - a little red wagon! It's just like the one my brother, Matt, had when we were growing up. Bryce was kind enough to test it out and make sure it was safe for his younger friends. Thanks, Bryce!
Bryce went to sleep before we left for dinner, but I think Riley and Colter got to snuggle with June and Gram for most of the evening.

We had a great time on our date!
We got home in time to change the babies into their pajamas (these are Jeff's favorites) and put them to bed.

Glad y'all had a fun night out...looks like the grandparents had a fun night in!

Caroline and I have loved our walks...can't wait for another one...you up for it this week. Maybe tomorrow? I think we are going to stick close to home tomorrow so it would be a perfect day for a walk.

It was SOOOO nice of your parents to offer to watch Bryce, too. We always enjoy hanging out with you all...always full of laughs.
