Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a Happy Valentine's Day!

We enjoyed it and here is how we celebrated.

Over the weekend, we went to Montgomery to have some pictures made of Banks (he is almost 15 months old). Mary Catherine, my best bud from College, is a very talented photographer and she took some GREAT shots of Banks, despite the frigid temps.

We got home Saturday afternoon, just in time for our babysitter to arrive and Bryan and I ate HERE and went and heard THIS GROUP perform. They performed the music of The Eagles and had this great singing group do the songs. It was great!!!

Monday night, I put together some Valentines treats for the children in Banks' class.

Bryan surprised me with these new TB sandals! Whoo-hoo!!!

....and flowers....

We stayed in on Tuesday night and made dinner. We did a large fillet and split it 1/4 to 3/4. I have been cutting back some so I did not think I could justify an entire fillet on a Tuesday night.

I made my favorite "go to" salad. It is delicious and so easy.

You will need:

1 container arugula

1 lemon

Olive Oil

Shaved Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper

To make the dressing, use 1 part lemon to 2 parts olive oil. For example, I used 2 TBS fresh lemon juice and 4 TBS olive oil. Then add a pinch of salt and pepper. Shake in a covered bowl. It should look creamy.

Toss with the arugula and add a generous amount of the shaved parm.
