Night Away

Ryan and I got to get away for a night and we went to Santa Fe which is a 3 hour drive from our house. We went there last when I was pregnant with Sofia and Ryan had a meeting --so I tagged along. We had wonderful meals and experienced the Opera. This time, he wasn't on call and we had really nothing planned, so we went for an over night without the kids for the fist time EVER (in 2 years). Micah (cah cah), stayed with Sofie and Jack, and I nervously, went away with my husband. The kids did great, I don't think they noticed. Jack actually slept til 7 am, which he is always up early when we are home. We had 7pm dinner reservations at our favorite Italian restaurant, they serve the BEST fois gras! So after our 3 hour dinner--haven't seen those in awhile, we walked around the wonderful art shops in the Santa Fe square, and went and listened to some music. We found this store that wasn't there 2 1/2 years ago, that is properly named after me. :) If any of your are Napoleon Dynamite fans please take note of the Inn name in the back ground. It is La Fonda --ie."la-fawn-dah" he he.
Enjoying some music and each other's company. During dinner, Ryan presented me with a wonderful present for Mother's Day. He picked out a wedding band that goes with my current set that is encrusted with Sapphires and Diamonds. What a really lovely surprise, I was crying in the restaurant and as I was looking at it I dropped it on the floor, under the table, somewhere, and the waiter had to come with a flash light and we found it. What a freakin commotion. Needless to say, he surprised me and Sapphires are my favorite, so he did well. I have to say it looks lovely with my wedding set. Spoils me rotten--as if a night of wonderful food and music weren't enough.
Here is a little bragging on Ryan. He made this piece and it is in our living room. He actually made it for our friends Dianna and Paul who live in Telluride--I will be sad to part with it. Ryan loves to use different mediums and textures. There are all kinds of stuff going on in this. What a talented guy right?
I think she learned this from somewhere??? I wonder??? Talking on the phone that is, not the shirt off part, she got that from Daddy. I got her up from her nap and she had her shirt off. Lately she has been waking up with various pieces of clothing removed. I dread when the diaper comes off.
