Important Research

I helped Dad pick the recipes for Valentine's Day dinner. We made delicious choices: fennel, blood orange and pomegranate salad; roasted chicken with creamy Alsatian onion sauce and rice, haricot verts; and chocolate tart. But I hear the best part was the Domaine Chandon Chardonnay that Mom and Dad brought back from Napa before I came along to shake things up. I didn't get to try any of this dinner, a little too rich for my palate I'm afraid, plus it was time for bed before they got started! But they told me in the morning that it was perfect and that they enjoyed themselves very much.
Kalamazoo


A few weekends ago we went to Kalamazoo to visit Rose, Charlie, Midge and Foster. Mom and I took the train in the morning and Dad drove up after work. I loved the train ride!! I got to watch Elmo, and made faces at the nice man sitting behind us, I looked out the window and got very excited when the train whistle blew ("which was a lot since it was Amtrak and we stopped about a million times," says Mom). Mom and I decided it was a great way to travel.
It was a great weekend. We celebrated Midge's 18th and Foster's 15th birthdays! Rose's nephew Evan and his wife Anne came over for a visit with baby Ira and he and I had a super time playing together. Dad and Foster and I went sledding in the side yard on Saturday afternoon. All in all it was a blast and Mom's ready to get on the train again soon and go back!!

Bubble bath



Haven't had any bath pics in ages -- I love taking a bubble bath. Did you know you can make mittens with the bubbles and then pretend you are a lion and roar?! And you can also splash Daddy and see what happens!
Tunnel!



As many of you know, I am completely obssessed with tunnels -- I look for them everywhere! So one night when my grandparents were over, I made Dad and Papa G be my tunnel while Nana looked on. Fun fun fun!
Relaxing with Dad


As usual, Mom's been slacking with her blog postings! Anyway, it's been a cold and snowy winter this year, so lots of time inside! Here's Dad and I lazing around one afternoon...Dad keeps wishing I'd just fall asleep with him for a short nap on the couch, but no chance -- I might miss something!
