A family portrait he drew around Valentine's: He said it's Mommy and Daddy with Nora between us and Daniel in the air. His first "real" picture. I loved it so much that I scanned it and made it into a Valentine card that he sent family.
Shannon made steak (it had a yummy marinade), a quinoa and black bean salad, and the most awesome veggie kabobs with a balsamic glaze (red and yellow peppers, tomato, zucchini, eggplant, fennel, red onion, mushrooms, and potato)!
Darleen is so talented! All of her jewelry is amazing! http://www.darleenmeier.com/shop.html

She looks so cute in her tight red jammies!
A recipe that flopped: I made these cupcakes and thought they looked so cute - but they did not taste good! Better luck next time!
I have been reading - Miss Maners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior and it is so entertaining. I pick it up before bed and randomly read a few entries. I mean who wouldn't want to brush up on things like - Common Courtesy For All Ages, Business Entertaining (Neither Businesslike Nor Entertaining) or Manners for Particular (and Ornery) Foods?! I now officially know what to do with a finger bowl, how to handle spontaneous outbursts, and how to behave if I'm ever invited to the White House.

Oops...where's Nora?
Walking the plank!

Back in Connecticut - his actual birthday was pretty low key. A cupcake to celebrate!
