First Night Out

Many weeks before Cooper's arrival, we planned our first outing and bought tickets to the Elton John & Billy Joel concert.  We even did a test run with a bottle on Sunday, which he took like a champ and made me a little sad, so it looked like we were ready to go.  

I received a call from my mom (and scheduled babysitter for the evening) the morning of the concert from the hospital where she was admitted the night before and needed gall bladder surgery (the surgery went great and she was discharged the following day).  

After contemplating our options at length, we decided to still go to the concert and enlist Auntie Emmy and Auntie Aly to watch the boys.  It was very hard to leave Cooper and I only sent 5 check-in text messages during the show.  

We ended up having a great time and the concert was amazing, as only it would be with those 2 performers.  The boys had a good time themselves and everything went smoothly in our absence.  

Thanks Emmy, Aly, Elton & Billy!
