This is one of those random update posts. First of all, this happened:
Part of me feels like I'm defecting but, at the same time, it was time for some upgraded computing power around here. So far, I'm loving the [ridiculously big] screen size, Finale, Garage Band, etc. And no, 12 GB of memory isn't overkill.
Moving on. We've had a reservation at Stephanie Izzard's Girl and the Goat since early August and we finally got to go last night. It really was amazing. We had the roasted cauliflower (with pickled peppers, pine nuts, and mint), mussels (with goat sausage croutons), the wood oven roasted pig face (yep), along with some amazing desserts and drinks.

Megan and her roommates graciously invited us over afterwards for some quality Monday night TV (Castle and Jeopardy). Earlier in the weekend, we celebrated Kristen's birthday with her family and friends up in Wrigleyville. Her mom prepared a delicious, homestyle feast for us all.
Earlier yet, we attended our first ever Turkey Fry at Steve and Rachelle's house. I've never had turkey that moist and succulent. Special thanks to your hospitality and great friendship -- we had a great time!
Back one more day to Friday, Jami and Scott were in town with our niece and nephew (Megan and Justin). They stayed downtown and did some shopping, ambling about the city among the crowds. They joined us for dinner Friday night at Salatino's in Little Italy which was great and then came to the 10am at Old St. Pat's. And finally a random picture of the piano at church for good measure:
Our Thanksgiving travels will take us up to Lansing this year. We are more than ready to have a few days to relax and visit with friends and family. Up next: a family picture, omelette cook off, doggie play dates,
