what a weekend it was.
the Hawks and the Pats gave us a game.
a tough loss for us, but an amazing win for New England.
Congratulations!
Super Bowl Sunday is much bigger than
football in this house.
a little over thirty years ago...the Miami Dolphins
were one of my focal points during a long labor.
they lost that year...
...but we won!
i gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl on that Monday after...at 12:10 pm.
on Saturday night, we celebrated that perfect day once again with a lovely dinner.
at Chrislyn's request, Mr D made his amazing rendition of grilled duck poppers.
we served beef tenderloin, this recipe for polenta crusted potatoes,
and tossed salad with pignoli, feta and balsamic dressing.
Jason was in charge of dessert.
he is whisking Chrislyn off to NYC ( her Christmas gift) at the end of the week.
the pending get a way inspired her gift from us.
...travel sized Kari Gran skin care, samples of Jo Malone from Nordstrom
and a little spending money.
she loved the practicality of using the FIELD NOTES as her birthday card.

Hi Lynne! I read this on my IPhone and it wouldn't let me comment but I had to come back to wish your beautiful daughter a belated happy birthday. Don't those birthdays seem to melt the years away? I always love hearing those birth stories too. And It sounds like you had such a nice celebration together. My god that dinner sounds so yummy. And can you believe that game? I still can't believe that last interception. :( Oh well there's always next year right?

Chocolate is my favorite food.
