We Survived!

Our first night out and away from Gilbert went off without a hitch. Katie was excellent in both feeding him and getting him to bed. Thanks!

As for the evening, it was enjoyable. The event at Nau was quite interesting. Packed with design-types, Kristen definitely fit in more than I did, but even so she was still a bit on the conservative side compared to many of the more eclectic. There was plenty of food and beverage and the sample of eco-friendly or sustainable building materials were quite interesting. It is amazing what is being done with natural or recycled products nowadays!

With the evening going so well, we decided to keep it going and did go to Webster's Wine Bar. The place was just as we remembered it, but the menu of food has exploded! Kristen selected three fantastic cheeses and the sliced spicy Spanish sausage I picked was the perfect companion to the large reds we drank.

What surprised us the most is that we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and still somehow ended up back at home before 10pm! Heck, I've got friends who don't even think about going out until then!

So, the evening was fun and we look forward to doing it again.

It is quite cold today so we spent our time indoors playing and taking pictures. Here is the latest batch.

I can't even remember how I stumbled on to your blog - but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy it. Our son is 3 1/2 months old and often times your posts are VERY familiar to us. We too went "out" this weekend, hired a sitter for the first time and we were home by 9:30. =-) Your little guy is a cutie.
