Date Night

I cannot believe it is already Wednesday. It is really amazing how time gets away from you when you have a newborn. I must say, I have really enjoyed this time with Harper. She is such a great baby. Last night, she slept from 12 until 6:30 which made me a happy mom. I could not believe that I got a full 6 1/2 hours of sleep. So , she has made this transformation into mommy-hood pretty easy for me. I just hope nothing changes :) We think it is so cute how she always sleeps with her either one or both of her arms up near her head

In the last two weeks, we have had some really great help and support. Many of our friends last week came by and brought us dinner each night of the week. We were so overcome by how thoughtful everyone was. And of course, our parents have been so helpful. This Sunday my parents came for a visit and to give us a night out. Since, I had not been out of the house since Harper's birth it was so nice to go out and have dinner with just Will and I. I do not know if I would be this comfortable leaving Harper with anyone else but my parents and Will's dad for the evening (so far).

For our date night, we decided to go to a local Japanese restaurant, Kabuki. Will and I always enjoy going to this restaurant because of the good sushi, hibachi and entertainment.

I really love all the jokes that the chefs make while cooking and how you always have to act like you have never heard them. You know what I'm talking about. The joke about the onion volcano, ketchup bottle explosion, the rolling of the egg and calling it an egg roll and the water bottle that looks like a boy peeing. I just find all of this so humorous. 

This is the water bottle supposed to look like a boy peeing.(hah)

We also have this running joke between Will and I about the shrimp catching event. Since, Will and I have been together he swears that he is the "World's Best Shrimp Catcher" and that he never misses.  However, this night the chef saved about 5 shrimp for Will to catch and not one was caught. Of course, Will blamed it on the throwing technique of the chef not being accurate and that it should not count towards his record of shrimp catching. 

Enjoying my night out  but missing Harper girl..
