Shannon's World

I hope everyone had a happy holiday season and that you are staying healthy.  We had a great holiday with Mike’s family in West Lafayette.  The whole crowd came home and we had them over for dinner one night; it was a lot of fun.  I introduced everyone to the wonders of Tastefully Simple: the almond pound cake and poppy seed dressing specifically. 

We hosted a New Years bash and had a great time.  I need to get Cooper’s recipe for Thai Chicken rolls and post it – they are always a crowd pleaser and a unique appetizer.

Other things that happened since my last post:

- I entered my third and final trimester. . .I am 32 weeks/8 mo pregnant!  Hard to believe how fast the last 32 weeks have gone.

- Mike posted pics from my Fall European extravaganza: Sitges, Rome and Venice

- The greatest basketball coach ever, General Robert Montgomery Knight became the all time wins leader.  Congratulations, Coach Knight!  To honor the General ESPN put togehter their Top Ten Coach Knight soundclips.  Warning: there are lots of bleeps.

I hope to start the third week of the New Year with more consistent posts, but I am swamped at work until February 2.
