It Finally Happened...

What happened you ask? Life. That's what happened. Life finally caught up with us. 7 and a half months ago we were blessed with an amazing baby boy. You would think that our lives would change drastically with that. And it did. But for the most part we were still able to maintain a regular social life. We could hang out with friends or go out to dinner like normal. Nolan is a pretty solid sleeper, so most of the time he would just sleep right through dinner or fall asleep sometime in his carseat and wouldn't know the difference. But times are different now. It finally hit me this weekend when some friends wanted to go out to dinner at like 8:00 on Fri. night. In pre-Nolan times we would have been there in a heart beat. But now Nolan is in bed asleep at 8:00, so we can't go out to dinner (or anywhere) that late unless we have a sitter. And let's be honest, when do we ever plan anything well enough in advance to get a sitter? So I guess our late-night social days are pretty much over. I hate thinking that we are going to miss out on something. But you know what? It is so worth it. I would do just about anything for that boy (including give up my social life). I mean just look at that face...

For the record, we do still enjoy hanging out with our friends. In fact we LOVE our friends! We just have to either plan in advance or hang out earlier in the day. :)
