Where did I go?

Sorry for my abrupt disappearance from the blogosphere.  I spent the last week celebrating birthdays, spending time with my mother-in-law, and visiting the doctor.  Everything, aside from the visits to the doctor, was fantastic.

Now I just have a ton of blogging to do.

Here is a sample of what we did this week:

A Date!

As I wrote in my Friday Fill-in, the hubby and I had planned our first date in approximately three years.  We were going to do a lot of walking, window-shopping, and sight-seeing, but, alas, our plans were thwarted by massive contractions and a night without much sleep. 

So, it was a cafe breakfast--ham and Swiss market bun and pain au chocolat--and latte, instead.  We did a little bit of walking, but the highlight was definitely a lingering breakfast at an upscale Cafe Soleil in downtown Madison.  All the ingredients are local, so that was a win, also.
