This past weekend was supposed to be my weekend off but due to some shortages of staff at work I volunteered to work Friday and Saturday. I should really learn to say no but the overtime will be nice :). Saturday night Andrew and I went on a date. My brother Matt is staying with us for a while until he can get on his feet and decide whether he will stay in AZ or go back to PA. Its actually been nice to have him around he has been helping with the kids and offered to babysit so Andrew and I could go out on a date. It was great to finally get out just the two of us it doesn't happen very often. We went and had dinner at a nice Thai restaurant that we had been wanting to try and it was delicious!! Then we went to see The Time Traveler's Wife. I read the book and begged Andrew to see it even though he wanted to see something more "guyish" and guess what he really liked the chick flick. I think I may have even seen a few tears. :) I thought the movie was exellent and pretty much followed the book exactly. I love when that happens. I didn't feel like anything important was missing.
We planned to do something fun with the kids on Sunday but poor Cameron got sick Saturday afternoon so he spent most of Saturday and Sunday sick in bed with flu-ish symptoms. Zeland seemed to have a bit of a sick stomach also and ended up with the worst diaper rash EVER! I felt so bad for him. By this morning it seems to be mostly cleared up.
Sunday we got into a little fender bender in our new car. A woman hit us from behind at a stop light. She clearly wasn't paying attention but the damage was very very minor and we agreed to not call the police or go through our insurance. She offered to give us some cash and we gladly accepted. We will have the car checked out to see what it would cost to fix the bumper but really the damage is so minimal it may not be worth it.
Here a few pictures that I took over the weekend.

Sigh... just the thought of a built-in babysitter sounds amazing! I didn't even realize the Time Traveler's Wife was out yet!!! I loved that book... seems to me from the previews that his time traveling looked too mellow, like he just fizzled out from foot to head, when it should really be a violent seizure. But I look forward to renting it. I don't believe Chuck will cry, but you never know!
It is amazing and I think Andrew likes the company when I am at work. I imagine it won't be for long since really who wants a grown man sleeping on your couch forever but it's nice right now.
The movie was good. Don't get me wrong the book was better but I really did like the movie. Now that you mention it they do simmer down the time traveling episodes but I think overall they did a good job.
I just have to read the "The Time Travelers Wife." Coming back on the plane from Chicago I sat next to a young woman who was reading the book. She said it was very good. Maybe I can get it from you or the library.
Nancy my friend Kira is reading the book now but once she gives it back if you haven't read it I will certainly let you borrow it.
