Miss Penny Lane

So I've just entered a photo of Penny into some Pet Photo contest thingy. Might be lame but who knows. In honor Miss Lane, I thought I'd post some photos of her over the past couple years we've had her. Enjoy!

The photo I entered of her...

In bed with her stuffed alligator (which is about the size of her).

Hanging out on the couch (no, of course she's not spoiled!).

In her Mackinac Island shirt that my mom bought her. Not sure how thrilled she was wearing it!

I thought my scarf matched her nicely :)

Such a hard life!

Back to the Mitten...

A couple of weeks ago I went back to Michigan for my friend Nicole's bachelorette party and bridal shower. Those events took place on Saturday and Sunday, so Friday I spent a nice night out with my parents. We went to Argieros in Ann Arbor, one of our favorite Italian restaurants, for my birthday dinner. So here's a few photos from the evening. Enjoy!

Mum and Dad

A little bubbly to start off the night

Scampi in Town, Part Two

Probably should have posted this one before the B-Earthday one, but whatev. Time is of the essence these days so I post when I can! I came across some more photos from Sister Melissa's visit to NYC. Enjoy!

The official photo from our visit to the ESB

Beer Battered Pickles, our fav!! Definitely not as good as the ones at Cleary's though...

At Wonjo for Korean BBQ. Trying to figure out what is what!

Chris having some sake.

Yay, Ciara came with! The four of us took a boat from 34th up to Yankee Stadium. It was good fun (a bit cold though). Here are Melissa and Ciara, showing off their matching mittens (and coats it seems).

Yankee Stadium. Really not sure if they won or not. Maybe if they were playing Detroit I would have paid attention more. It was fun still...

Melissa keeping score

Doing the YMCA! Apparently this is Chris and Melissa's song that they will have to dance to at the wedding... goodness.

My B-EarthDay

So, a little late (would you expect anything less from my blog posts?!), but thought I'd post a few photos from my fancy bday dinner. We went to the Four Seasons I think it was and the restaurant in there was called L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. Very fancy, very French. We actually got a good hook up from Chris' friend Frenchie (well, her real name is Emilie but I guess everyone calls her Frenchie). As much as I was dying to take photos of all the awesome looking foods, I didn't quite feel that was the kind of place to do such a thing. That was until my dessert came out, then I of course had to! Enjoy the photos of my awesome dessert... I know I did!

Scampi in Town


So a few weeks ago, Sister Melissa came to visit! I thought about uploading all of the photos from the various cameras I randomly carry around with me... but it's getting late, and I kinda don't feel like it. So here are some photos from the night we went to the Empire State Building. 

Chris and a guy who said his name was Ringo (I think... or something else famous). 

The one decent non-shaky shot I got of the Chrysler Building. 

Big brother and little sister (that's what they call each other :) 

Awwww! Me and my sister :)

Two in one day!!

So as most of you know, I enjoy cooking. I find it to be very relaxing after a rather long day. So a few weeks ago I had an incredibly stressful Saturday, full of getting my hair and nails done (I know, so stressful... I deserved it though!!). But that night I made some swordfish kabobs with couscous and a tomato/olive mix topping kinda thing. It turned out pretty good, and I must say the presentation turned out lovely with my new dish :)




The hostess with the mostest ;)

This is huge...

I have finally located the memory card for the SLR camera (yessss!). I'm also home doing nothing that awesome on a Friday night. So clearly this means I will be uploading lots of photos (yay!!). I'm going to first start off with Easter photos in this post (yes, that was nearly a month ago). So let's hope when I'm done I'm finally all caught up here!

Bogart just loves Theresa!

Cake by mum :)

Melissa and Bogart

Ralph discovers he's out of vino...

It's empty! Dad is to the rescue though with a refill.

I made cupcakes!! The pink ones turned out best (or the pink frosting should I say).

Ralph and Mary Ann, my second parents :)

Dad and I trying to practice for the father-daughter dance... this should be interesting!

Chris seems so thrilled! I think Mary Ann was cheating with those sunglasses on ;)
