Super Secret Date Night!!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

So two days after our Secret Date Night, Ichiro added a new entry to our online calendar.  It was for today and was titled “Super Secret Date Night!!”  I was very excited and couldn’t wait to see what he had planned.  I asked Ichiro if it was a family event OR if he remembered that planning a Secret Date Night, especially a Super Secret Date Night, meant also remembering to plan for child care.  OOPS!!!  Thanks goodness I have the best sister even and she was able to move her schedule around a little to help us out on such short notice!!

So where did we go???  It was just the BEST Super Secret Date Night I could ever asked for! OK I might have hinted (or flat out told) to Ichiro that I really REALLY wanted to do this. See back in 1988 my sister went to New York City to see a musical on Broadway.  I was very jealous she got to go.  Anyway she came back with the soundtrack, on tape, and she might have listened to it a few times.  That was until I BORROWED it, fell in love with it, and maybe never returned it.  I just loved that tape!  I must have listened it to a zillion times and knew know EVERY song.   Awhile ago we had seen that the show was going back to Broadway and I asked Ichiro to take me.  We never made it down to New York but recently I saw it was coming to Boston.  SO like I said I might have hinted to Ichiro that he should probably buy me a ticket.  AND HE DID and HE MADE IT A SUPER SECRET DATE NIGHT!!!

So tonight I got to see, a musical I have wanted to see since 1988!! I warned Ichiro that I knew every word to every song but would try not to sing out loud.  I got goose bumps during the first song and sang every song in my head.  Tonight I got to see THE CHORUS LINE!! It was amazing and I had the best time ever!!   We I purchased the CD and I made Ichiro listen to it on the way home.  I honestly do not think he beleived me when I told him I knew every song, that was until the car ride home.  And he didn’t ask for a divorse!!  haha

Thanks again for the perfect Super Secret Date Night!! Love ya!

GO SEE IT!

Happy Birthday Noby!!

Posted by Becky  Published in Uncategorized

Yesterday was little Noby’s 1st birthday party. I want to thank everyone who came to celebrate with him! It means so much to us that you all took time out of your busy schedule to be with us. It was a crazy day but over all it went ok (I know I’m hard on myself!) The rain kept us inside, which made it HOT but everyone made the most of it. It was a lot of stimulation for Noby; he never has this many people in his space. Also to see all his worlds colliding! He was a little cranky and wouldn’t nap, until the Baby Whisper (aka my mom) was able to get him down. Even though he might have slept through most of the party, he had a great time!! I can say with almost all certainty that his favorite part of the party was the cake. Lisa made the most amazing 1st birthday cake ever! All I told her was jungle theme and she, once again, made the perfect cake!! EVERYONE loved the cake! Even people, who say they aren’t cake people, loved it and said it was the best cake they had ever had!!! Way to go Lisa! I’m sorry to everyone who didn’t get to see Noby open gifts. He was more interested in the bows and hangers then all the great goodies inside. Throughout the night we slowly helped him open his gifts. He got so excited with what was in each box we couldn’t do more then one at a time. You are all so generous and we can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for Noby throughout the year. Thanks again for celebrating with us!
