Celebrations and Good-bye dinners.

As a celebration of Joseph learning how to dog-paddle (It sort of counts as swimming right??), AND a farewell to bread for me...I went on a date with my little man on Friday night. We dressed to the nines, black cocktail dress, vest and tie, 4-inch heels and all!! Obviously - I wore the heels, not Little Joe!!!

We went to Paesanos in Ann Arbor - one of my favorite restaurants ever. When I was growing up, my Mom and Dad and I would go there to celebrate just about anything. I even had one of my bridal showers there - it was perfect. They have the BEST bread in the world - hands down, and herb butter to go with. Yumm.

I started with a yummy gazpacho (which I never thought of as Italian, but whatever).

Followed with a wonderful pasta bolognese...so good. the sauce was amazing - the pasta was just OK - a little undercooked and rubbery for my taste...but good, nonetheless.

And the bread....MMmmmmm.

And for dessert...tiramisu...of course.

But the funniest part of the whole evening...Little Joe fell asleep before the first course even arrived. He finished his PBJ, and crawled under the table and onto my side of the booth and promptly fell asleep.
