Our 9th anniversary was last Thursday (thus the beautiful flowers, same periwinkle color as at our wedding). At first it looked like we might not get to celebrate alone, but we ended up celebrating two days in a row! I have a maternity aqua exercise class that meets T/Th evenings until 6pm, so my friend Amy watches the kids. She offered to keep them Thursday evening while we went out to eat at The Cafe. This is probably the coolest restaurant in our town...awesome food, awesome ambiance, and they are dedicated to providing as much locally produced food as possible, which is great.
Then Friday night my in-laws, who are in the throes of a COMPLETE kitchen remodel (as in no cupboards on the walls at the moment and just got their new appliances), offered to watch the boys while we went out again:) This time to Cool Basil, which has had mixed reviews. Spouse had been there once before for a business lunch and the service was terrible, but the food great, so we figured it was worth the gamble. It was awesome! I had Tom Yum soup and gingered orange roughy. Spouse had Tom Kai soup and angry dish Pad-Pi-Rod.
Then on Saturday, S-i-L had her baby, so I am an aunt for the second time:) Dominic Borg (family last name) Purcell made his appearance during the day and we saw him briefly before I had to fill in a partial shift at the Fast Track Sunday evening. They've been too busy to blog his appearance yet, so no pics of him yet:(

The Cafe is our #1 favorite. I think we go almost weekly. Love lunch there.
BTW, Congratulations to you two.
Congratulations to you and Jeff!
Love Cool Basil also, but their sister restaurant, Thai Flavors is on the east side so it's closer to me, we go there for lunch. I had a great Bun there (Thai salad topped with egg rolls and a fabulous lemon/ginger marinade for dressing).
Fred and I were suppose to have the day off together today, but by 9:00am this morning, his work was calling needing him to come in. He worked 27 hours last Friday (7:30am Friday morning to 10:30am Saturday morning). All I can say is they better come off of a good annual review and a nice salary raise this month, it not, he HAS to start putting "feelers" out.
Hope I get to see you before the holidays are over!
Congrats on the anniversary. Nice flowers. Thanks for sharing. On days like these, we need to see signs of spring...cuz it's a long way off.
Lovely flowers, love the colors. Congrats on the 9 years and also becoming an aunt again!!
Congratulatons! I love your flower pictures, the blues look like delphiniums which I just love. That's great that you were able to go out TWICE to eat!
Congrats!
