Love needs to be around...


It's been a long time since hubby and I spend time alone together. Since the arrival of Min 6 months ago, our life has once again been disrupted and a lot of routines and things have to change to cater to the little fella, and that includes any ME/US time we used to enjoy. I can't remember the last time we went out alone without min, and can't even remember the last time when we sat together for a meal without having to fuss around the kids or gobbling down our food just before the kids start screaming or fidget in boredom. Ah...really miss the days!!! I guess it will be another few months/years till we get to enjoy our own time again. Had been feeling a little neglected and taken for granted lately, but I can't really blame hubby as he's really tired (so am I) from our day to day routines and he's been travelling on business quite frequently too. Perhaps when we move to our new house things will be better. Min will be 8 months then.
Min has been growing up quite a lot lately. I haven't got the chance to upload any pictures but he's looking more or less the same, except with longer legs and less chubby thighs. This is probably due to his frequent exercise workouts on his walker, cruising in the house trying to touch/grab every single object that appears in front of his face :P Now that he's using more energy to move around, he'll need more energy by eating more. For a 6 month old, he's quite a big eater taking half bowl of cereal for breakfast a day and half a bowl of porridge twice a day for lunch and dinner. On top of that, he's still nursing on demand throughout the day (and night) plus an occassional snack in between the meals LOL Hope he maintains his chubby thighs for as long as he could!
Our wedding anniversary is approaching. It seems that with each year passing by, there's less and less enthusiasm in celebrating this supposedly meaningful day. Firstly we've both given up on cracking our brains on what to give to each other. Secondly we really have no chance to go out alone for meals with the kids (or at least min) so attached to us (esp me!). Finally with our expenses tighter since I am no longer working, we'd rather save the money for the kids or other necessary expenses versus going out for meals. Not easy for hubby to earn money these days. Despite saying that, I still hope hubby will remember this day, and the vows we made on this day 8 years ago...
