Shrimp

I'm pretty sure that last night was the first time that we'd made seafood since we moved up to Chicago. We made tequila shrimp-and it actually turned out quite yummy! I had quite a problem in the grocery store though. You know, we got a bit spoiled when we were able to buy our seafood fresh and local. I just stood there going back and forth reading all of the labels in the case for the longest time-they must've thought I was crazy! They were all shipped in from somewhere, frozen then thawed, blah blah blah....Oh how I miss the nice little market that Boone Hall had...
Oh well, Chicago food does have its benefits. There may not be any oyster roasts or Lowcountry broils, but there is some of the best pizza (of course) and our new favorite-Italian beef sandwiches! Oh the 'new' foods that we will be bringing back to Columbus :)


Emily got a new big girl towel-and she loves it! It's big enough to wrap around her so she doesn't get cold. She looks cute too-of course!


This was walking out the door last week to go to daycare/work. She was getting so frustrated-she's already learning that I don't get out the door too quick! She was trying to carry both bags to the door-what a strong girl!

I work 3-11...so she's at daycare from 2-5:30 or 6. 3 days a week. Not too bad-we pay $168/week though! Yikes!!!
