New Year’s Eve Snacks

Friday, January 1st, 2010

This year I tried a new snack - meatballs in a mixture of cranberry sauce and chili sauce. It's much vaunted, but Shaun and I just weren't impressed. I'd make it again as an easy appetizer for a large party, but that's about it. We also made ...

A Nice Relaxing Christmas

Friday, December 25th, 2009

We had a nice relaxing Christmas, starting with sleeping in, then opening gifts, Emma included, enjoying some bacon and fried potatoes for breakfast, a day of watching goofy movies and TV, a standing rib roast for dinner, and more fun TV for the evening. We just started watching Penn ...

A Celebratory Dinner for First Flight

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Today was a big day for my place of employment, and specifically my program. First flight has been greatly anticipated, and was hailed with much cheer. Being in a celebratory mood, I made the Desert Drowned Shrimp below along with some rib eye steaks and roasted broccoli for ...

Halloween for Emma

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Emma Playing Fort

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

We started keeping a sheet over our couch in a futile attempt to control the corgi hair. This rarely works, as Emma has decided that she likes snuggling under the sheet. Here are a few pictures of her (and me) under the sheet.

Emma’s Kitty Impressions

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Emma loves to get up on the back and arms of our couch. She walks along or just perches. We tell her that she's not a kitty cat, but I don't think she listens :-P

An Early Birthday Celebration

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Since my birthday falls on a Tuesday this year, and Shaun's second day of law school to boot, we just celebrated today. It started out with a nice relaxing morning at home, playing with Emma, and getting my wonderful present from Shaun, a little Toshiba netbook. This post ...

Are you ready for some football?

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

We went to the Broncos / Seahawks game last night. Both Shaun and I grew up in Colorado, and I've been going to Broncos games for as long as I can remember. We've adopted the Seahawks as our NFC team, but the Broncos will always be our ...
