Date Night: El Matador

The lovely Heather accompanied me on a date night to El Matador, our usual Friday routine. Robin took care of Ava. We made it to the restaurant at about 9:30PM... a little later than the normal 6:45. Good dinner. We're both tired but very happy that we still like to get out. I don't think either of us had any worry about leaving Ava. None of that "first time away from baby" stuff. We've left Ava at home with folks before. It just feels natural. Not sure what the big deal is. One of the ladies who owns the restaurant has been checking in with Heather's pregnancy for a while. She gave Heather a second look on the way in but didn't ask if she had delivered. Heather's clearly not as pregospherish but is still deflating. On the way out I told her that we had Ava. She was excited and wants us to bring her back, which we will to keep the Friday Mexican Date Night tradition going. To expand it, actually. I enjoy spending time with my wife. After her wonderful work with Ava I love and respect her more than ever. She's amazing and I'm lucky to have her.
