Good Friends, Good Times

Saturday we met Rae and Matthew for dinner. They were down this way so we made plans to meet them. Here's Isaiah when it was time to get ready to go. Kyla met us and rode with us.

Matt's birthday was this week and he is a big fan of German food. We met them at Hofbrauhaus. I've never ate at an authentic German restaurant.

For appetizers Rae & Matt shared their Hofbrauhaus Pretzels and Bier Cheese and Sauerkraut Balls. Both were great.

For dinner, Rae, Matt, and I ate German. I'm not sure what the names of their dishes were, but I had the Wiener Schnitzel. It was really good. The potato salad was warm. It had a dressing on it that reminded me of the dressing you make for wilted lettuce--vinegar, sugar, bacon grease-YUM!

Brian had a sirloin and Kyla had grilled chicken breast! But, for dessert, we all had the Windbeutel. And, yes, it was as delicious as it looks.

Isaiah slept most of the time we were there.

He did wake up long enough for Rae to hold him. He loved playing with her hair and necklace.

After we left Rae and Matt we decided to do a little shopping. Brian dropped Kyla, Isaiah, and I off at Hobby Lobby and he went to Golf Galaxy. When Brian picked us up he said he'd like to go to Starbuck's. What a great way to end the evening.

Kyla had what all our hearts desired. I didn't get it because of the caffeine.

Isaiah was the best. I think he enjoyed being out and about just as much as we did. It was just what we needed--to reconnect with people we love and spend some mellow time hanging out and just enjoying one another.





Isaiah slept on the way home. When we got home I took him up and put him in bed and his eyes opened and his little mouth grinned. So ornery! We were up a little longer due to his power nap!
