I painted this back in 2003 when my wife and I were just dating.
One thing we loved to do was to go out swing dancing.
Since having kids, we have only been afforded a chance to go out dancing only a handful of times.
We can get in such a parenting rut, we forget to take care of ourselves. And sometimes, taking care of ourselves requires taking some time without the kids.
And thanks to my family (My mom, my dad, and my sis), who have been vital for us in our parenting journey, we were able to go out last night.
We got dressed up 1920s style cut a rug, and had a blast.
The boys did great overnight there with my folks.
This has been the 2nd weekend in a row my family has taken the boys over night so my wife and I can spend some time together.
It really does make a HUGE difference for our own sanity (especially over winter break) and I am so grateful they are able to help out.
Thanks you guys!
