Date night at 4 weeks

At four weeks old, Nathanael had his first evening away from the parents. Our friends and neighbors, Nick and Deborah, watched the little guy. We heard that the majority of his time was spent napping with Nick on the papasan, though he also had a few minutes of charming the downstairs neighbors/relatives and cuddle time with Deborah and his bottle.

(This picture is not from that night, but it's still a special Nick and Nathanael picture from when he was a few days old. We have yet to get one of the three of them together.)
While those three hung out in Medford, Greg and I had a date night in Boston. My work graciously provided free tickets to the Boston Pops, so we made an evening of it. Here we are all dressed up for the evening.
We had dinner at Symphony8 before the concert. The food was decent. I have to admit that other than just the incredibleness of being on a dinner date with Greg, I think my favorite part was the Smithwicks. I hadn't had one since pre-pregnancy!
And though we only stayed for about half of the concert, it was wonderful to be able to attend. The music was spectacular, of course.
We grabbed a nice Starbucks drink on our way out, and we were home about three and a half hours after we left. Amazingly, no tears were shed (though close), and we did NOT talk about Nathanael the entire time (though he was definitely mentioned frequently).
