out for lunch

Today was one of those rare days we ventured out for lunch with Vanessa without our helper. We managed fine and I managed to coax her to sleep (finally!) without a pacifier *strut* I wasn't going to risk her flinging her pacificer on the hapless crowds walking below the bridge! So we (or rather I) managed to eat my dessert in peace and chit chat with the other couple we were out with.

I wanted to do some grocery shopping after lunch but her sleepfest was cut short by the loud thunder *sigh* so we headed home instead. She was quite good on the way home - just drinking her milk and watching the rain pelt against the window. I don't think I could have managed if she was wailing her lungs out!

Thank you, sweetie ...
