Yesterday I turned 36 years old.  The day was sort of crummy…for no major reason…just a blah sort of day…house cleaning, sick baby, burnt pancakes, sweet  & sour sauce spilled all over the kitchen floor…those sorts of annoyances.  I was determined to turn my birthday around though.  My inlaws took the older kids out for the evening and Michael and I had a date night with Henry in tow.  We had a grand evening in the Main Strasse Village!

First we had a delectable dinner at Otto’s:

And some quiet time…Henry loved hanging out on this stoop watching all the action…

It really was nice to just have Henry for the evening…he’s a completely different little being when he’s on his own…

We had so much fun in the Main Strasse Village on Friday night that we went back again on Saturday for dinner at Cock & Bull, it was a perfect night to sit outside and eat dinner…
