Detta är Dagen

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Well, Will is now done being contagious and has had a really mild case of measles- he didn't even seem to notice his spots and seemed fine the whole time. Now the spots are faded and he's had a couple of good days. Yesterday we went to the playground again, which was nice. It was Nate's birthday, so we got to see him at lunch time as well for a few minutes.
One of our friends offered to babysit for us so that we could go out for dinner and have a date. We put the kids to bed and dashed out the door. It was the first time we've left both kids and taken a date, and I think we only took one other datewhile we've been in India (in Jan 07 ) , so this was a nice treat and rather strange to be out without our kids.
Anyway, we took a taxi to the other end of Mussoorie and went to a fancy restaurant way up on top of a hill. The food was yummy and it was quiet and well-kept. There were lots of old pictures, paintings and skins and stuffed heads of big game hanging on the walls left over from the glorious days of the British rule here. It was a very nice outing. We walked all the way home which was also really refreshing. Happy Birthday, my man! :)
