Valentines Day Dinner

Sharon and I celebrated a delayed Valentines Day dinner on the 20th due to my traveling for business last week. We enjoyed chicken Parmesan with Rao's Homemade Vodka Sauce over pasta and a bottle of Villa Lanate Moscato D'asti wine and dinner chocolates.
The dinner arrangements were compliments of Alicia (Christmas gift)! Everything was truly delicious and well worth the wait.

Our new Fisher Paykel Refrigerator. After 30 years we decided it was time for a new fridge! We looked high and low until we found a model that would fit into our existing custom opening without the need for tearing out the woodwork. This unit has water only in the door and an auto ice-maker in the bottom freezer drawer. We decided against a side-by-side because they do not accommodate party trays or larger items. Ltes hope this one last 30 years as like the old one!

New Kitchen Faucet's

It was time for a change. Sharon found some new faucets for the kitchen sink in her new favorite color - distressed black. The plumbing task went pretty quickly with only a small flood under the sink when Steve forgot to turn off one of the supply lines.

Chloe's New Haircut

Well the summer was getting too hot and it was time for a buzz. This is about the shortest Chloe's been cut for a very long time. Happy Summer!

OSU and UC Football Games

This was a busy fall with Sharon and I taking the opportunity to attend two college games! We first made it to the OSU vs Wisconsin game in October. The weather was great and we had alot of fun tailgating and attending the Skull Session. O-H-I-O!
Next we attend the UC game vs UConn. What an exciting game! It was a Saturday night game in November and we made it through the whole game in light sweatshirts - the weather was fantastic. UC squeeked out a win to continue their unbeaten record. We had a great time visiting with Alicia and her roommates.

Sandy's Recuperation

Here are a couple of pictures of Sandy reduperating at home after back Surgery. As you can see, Bandit and Chloe are quite happy to sit on her lap and keep her company. Momma is also quite happy to have her puppy visiting for the day.

Here are the flowers Sandy received from the Schreiners. They have brightened up the living room and given Bandit something to munch on...... She misses Will, Emma, and Jack and hopes to see them very soon!

Brittany turns 21!

Brittany turned 21 on Sept 23rd! We celebrated with dinner at Barrios in downtown Columbus. The food was excellent, and the White Sangria was even better! Here's a picture of the three girls in the open air restaurant.
Happy Birthday Britt, with all our Love!
