Date Your Man!

My great friend, Amanda, does this little thing on Sunday called...

Hap and I don't have many opportunities for a date, but we did take advantage of the daycare one afternoon and went to a local falafel place.  My man was ready to eat some falafel when we left our home.
This place is downtown and is one of the restaurants recommended in a Fodder's Travel Guide.  We have eaten there once, and it is SOOOOO delicious!  You can either order a falafel sandwich or a platter and make your own.  We shared a platter, which comes with homemade hummus, tomato and cucumber salad, pickles, peppers, falafel, and pita bread.

I had never had falafel before coming here and I was missing out.  It is basically fried chickpeas and worth every calorie!

We load our pita up with everything and go to town.  Hap even said "This is just as good as a hamburger in the States."  What?!  But he might be right!

I love my man and I love that we spent some time together in the midst of our busyness!


We need to date more often.

I love your date night! I need to try the felafel if you say it's comparable to a hamburger!

Also, your glass glasses are beautiful!

Date night looked like it was a great night! Hap actually said "as good as a hamburger"? I think it does look good. But did Hap actually say that? Keep dating you two. Love, Dad and Mom P.

I have short-term memmory loss. I might have said that in the context of it being comparable . . . a burger back in the states is as good as it gets . . . and a falafel here is as good as it gets! Indeed, it was good eating and always good to spend time with my ever lovely wife of my youth!

How cool that Date Your Man has gone international. :)

Darcy raved about the falafels in Egypt, so I finally tried some here at a place called Sam's Gyros. (I was with Bob when I ate them, so I should count that as a date.) They are pretty good.

Love you guys! I enjoy reading your posts and seeing the photos of what you're doing.

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
