Catching up . . .

 Valentines for my three young loves and a coffee date with the love of my life.

 Dan got to take a day off and we took the kids to the aquarium on a school field trip. Carissa dissected a squid. All she will tell you about it is . . . YUCK!

 Carissa loves taking care of these two little guys. Brice and Winton. I love how they make her dimple show.

 My sister Cari, my Dad and I got to take a cooking class at the Chopping Block downtown Chicago. It was super fun with lots of laughs and we made some pretty good food too.

Our Grapeseed oil glow from the grill pan heating up. Our steaks were delicious. Thanks Dad.

 Arnes was at our station with us and had to put up with our shenanigans, but he didn't seem to mind to much.

The Murphister is here for a few days. We love having our city cousin come stay with us.

 While Dan is off in India, yes India, I am trying to make cooking meals easy and fun, so we went to visit my grandparents Bob and Ruth Muzzy at Windsor. We ate at The Grill and had yummy burgers, fries, and ice cream. It is always lovely to spend time with such wise and gracious grandparents.
