Thirty is the new black...

Last week I crossed the threshold and joined Kyle in what our friend Hilary calls the "Jesus years".  To be honest it didn't feel like that much of a milestone when you compare it to becoming a mother.  That one kind of wins.  But we didn't want to let it pass by without some celebration.  For those of you who know us well, we have a few birthday traditions that did not go unappreciated this year (ie- 'The Hangover' -it's a movie, not how I was feeling the next day, just fyi- and a few rum and cokes).  But to make this one special, we also went out on a date to a fancy restaurant.  It was our first real date since Knox arrived so I was very excited.  

We ate at a place called the 'Driskoll Grill' and it was amazing!

 Salad (yes we took pictures of everything we ate- don't judge. If each course is going to cost as much as a pair of shoes, it deserves a photo)

 Kyle's salmon

 My filet

 They called these s'mores- I beg to differ, but they were still good

 The happy couple

While we were drinking martinis and eating too much food, our little Knox was hanging out with his girl Blythe.  Blythe's parents, Ryan & Allison, are good friends that we've made here in Austin and they graciously agreed to babysit for us.  Thankfully, Knox did well and even got a photo shoot out of the deal. 

 Knox & Blythe chillin in the chair- things are good

 Things have started to go downhill- but Blythe is reaching out to comfort Knox

The binky saved the day- and Blythe's soothing touch as well I am sure
