Back in the Saddle

And we are back! I spent part of last week in Indiana visiting my parents and the rest of the week in Rochester visiting my friend Jen. It was a great week, but I felt bad about my lack of blogging. I will post only interesting and exciting things this week to compensate for my absence.

I unfortunately forgot my camera, so no pictures from our adventures. You can see a few on Jen's blog here. Highlights from our Rochester trip included:

* Wegmans Grocery Store. It was everything that I dreamed it would be and more. Lots of variety, beautiful produce, huge aisles, a cafe and child-care. I love grocery shopping and I was disappointed that I don't get to shop at Wegmans. It was amazing.

* Jen's delicious cooking. I have to get that recipe for the Dutch Babies, or whatever they are called. Yummy yum.

* The Rochester Museum of Play was an incredible museum of games, toys, climbing areas, and imaginative play for kids. Nora loved the Elmo exhibit. She is going through a big Elmo stage right now, which is funny because she's never seen Sesame Street.

* All the catching up with Jen. I love good girl-talk and Jen is so much fun to talk to. We had a blast just sitting around and talking.

* Leaving all four kids with Jen's husband, Chris. I sort of felt bad about it, but it was really great to have a fun night at the opera with Jen.

I think that the only bad part about the trip was that I slammed my coat in the door of Jen's car and my phone was in the pocket of my coat. I managed to crack the screen on the phone. Yes, this is my third phone this year. The phone still makes and accepts calls, but I can't see anything on the screen. I'm going to see if I can make this phone work for the next five months.
