We filed our taxes for 2008 and oh boy was that fun. haha. Anyway, we always owe because Chad does 1099 because he is considered an independent contractor. However, thank you Dylan, with the tax breaks we get for being homeowners and now having a baby, we are actually getting money back this year for the first time ever! Hooray! What a relief! We are working on booking a trip to Texas to visit family and introduce Dylan to her southern roots!
Chad and I have been enjoying date nights about once a week where we get a sitter and the two of us go eat, or go to a movie and just spend time together. This has been awesome for us and for Dylan to gain a little independence and be comfortable staying with family members while mommy and daddy are gone.
We have a couple friends with new babies and one of them is a photographer friend whose son is only a few weeks younger than Dylan. Seen below, Israel is a rolly polly ball of goodness! Just look at those cheeks! He came over and met Dylan and they were so super cute together. Dylan tried to eat him up, I wanted to too, he is yummy!
Dylan also got to meet Evan, the son of one of Chad's best childhood friends. Evan is a few months younger than Dylan and he too is ADORABLE! It was brief and Evan was asleep, but Dylan was definitely interested and excited about a future play date (one where we can take pictures of the two!) When that happens, I'll gladly post them! Until then...
