So here's the short of it, 
Great dinner tonight! 

And here's the long.

My colleague and I had a wonderful day at our conference today.  We learned lots about some of the latest research into urban education.  At the end of our day we heard Sonja Sohn from The Wire - that TV show on HBO that I've never watched, but now think I will.

This evening Lauren met us with Madison Claire for dinner.  It was SO nice of her to travel into town to have dinner with us.  I brought a pair of fairy wings for Madison - and had so much fun watching her flit around the restaurant!  We had a great visit with her Mom as well!
