Our first restaurant outing

Rio made it through her first restaurant experience like champ. We went to Tara's, our local Himalayan restaurant (what, don't you have yours?). We eat there often, and have gotten to know the staff so we felt it would be OK even if Rio began to cause a scene. It's a nice mellow place, kinda dark with Himalayan music playing so it makes for a really nice place to take a nap. Perfect. There was not a peep out of her, she slept the entire time we at the table, all much to the dismay of the employees who had been trying to figure out which one of them would get to hold her if she began to cry. It was really nice to just go out and grab a bite to eat, I think that we are finally getting to our "new normal" and are comfortable getting out and doing whatever we want to do. The hardest thing to do seems to be exercise, motivation has been a bit low but I think that we are coming back around. Mel has started doing baby boot camp with miss Rio in tow and I just registered for a 1/2 marathon Feb.1 so we hope to be back on track in no time.
We hope you all have a nice Holiday and a Happy New Year! We hope to see everyone soon.
Love ya.
