Any Babysitters Out There?

So for the second week in a row, when date night rolled around, Sarah and I had to scrape together some semblance of babysitting from the on-demand child care centers here in SsangYong Dong. Unfortunately, we got a late start, and everything was closed by 7pm. What's the deal? Isn't this prime time for their business?
Anyway, if any one out there in Cheonan knows where we can find a good babysitter, please let us know? We would be happy to pay a student a little to take care of Emma. If any one is interested in playing with Emma for a Friday night here and there, we would be forever - or at least for a good long short term - in your debt.

Date night.

That must be nice.

We have both sets of Grand Parents in town, but still no set 'Date Night' Our first full night away from Christopher didn't happen until he was two and a half. And our first 'date night' was at least a year in.

Of course having a set bedtime for the little dude does help, but since we both work we are both ready to go to bed shortly thereafter most nights.

Date night. I wish we were that lucky. Good luck man.

You need to get out more!
Seriously man. With parents in town, you guys need to make this a priority and take advantage of this opportunity. Trust me - having family to watch your little one is a rare privilege, which you may not always have. Go on a date ASAP, and make a plan to have a date night AT LEAST once a month. You don't have to do anything expensive. Pack a picnic lunch and go for a walk. Rent a movie and stay home. Anything. But get out and spend some time together.
It's not a matter of being lucky. It's a matter of being intentional. You guys are way "luckier" than us with all of that family around.

If you'd like to borrow West Wing season 7 let me know. Can I borrow that book 'The Shack' sometime?

The World is Flat is awesome. Does this account for why we have to forget an English word for every Korean word we learn?
