I've sort of been missing this little old blog lately. There are a lot of things that we do that I'd like to share, and intend to, but then a week goes by and another week passes and I never get around to posting it. Before I know it, it's three weeks later and whatever it was doesn't seem nearly as interesting anymore.

I've also realized that when I'm not posting regularly on this blog, I don't take nearly as many pictures. Because I want to have a lot of pictures to remember these years when my kids are little, and also because I want (and need) to practice taking pictures anyway, I'm going to attempt to reinstate the blog in an effort to motivate myself do these things.
Last night Steve and I had a date night (!) and to get the ball rolling, I used my phone to snap a few pictures during the evening. We went to The Drop for drinks and amazing bruschetta, and then onto Pierponts for dinner. Seriously delicious.
We both had our phones with us, of course, and while we weren't talking on them or browsing the internet independent of each other, it is amusing to me how often we pulled them out to look on the internet to answer some random question. It sort of seems like speculation, at least about past events, is obsolete. For any question that arose in our conversation, we knew the answer in seconds. No need to wonder how many kids the average family had in 1950 (3.37) or how old Jonathan Lipnicki is now (19) or which movie won best picture in 1997 (Titanic)... Pretty crazy, I think.

You made my morning, by the surprise of your post! Being the brand-new owner of an iphone, in the first picture of your drink, I immediately noticed Steve's phone, and thought, "Oh, shoot, Sarah and Steve were supposed to be having a rare date, and Steve is playing with his phone instead of chatting with Sarah"! At least that is what I think when your dad does that! I guess luckily you don't think the same thing!

I'm glad you had fun!! I think David had fun with the kids, except when he made different noodles with the mac and cheese.

Those drinks look yummy. I used to get told to put my phone down a lot during dinner! Now I try to wait until we at least get back to the car!

It was so good to see your post again. I'm not sure I would like being able to look everything little thing up immediately. It seems fun to speculate - but then maybe not.

Happy surprise, I didn't realize you were posting again. The feeder thing for your blog doesn't show the previews like the other blogs I follow. That bruschetta looks scrumptious, glad you had such a nice evening out. And glad you are taking pictures and sharing them on your blog!
