I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Just Warming Up

We "went on tour" warming up for the big events of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Tuesday we enjoyed a casual dinner with our friends the Finns and Jordan-Rosatos, some of Kyle's former co workers at GM. Of course I forgot my camera, but I will remember it certainly for the upcoming happy hour at Jim and Stephen's, who are restoring a seven bedroom home in Indian Village. I can't wait.  Thanks to Hadi and Matt for babysitting!  The next morning, we woke up and enjoyed Kerrytown with Hadi: Sweetwaters, Taste Our Goods and Elephant Ears. I heart Kerrytown.

Wednesday night Nathan got a little time with Nana and Grandpa during a nice dinner out.  Thanks for dinner Nana and Grandpa!
Grandpa, I wore my Michigan shirt for you!

Thursday started with a dentist appointment--no fun, and probably why I forgot my camera for all the fun afterwards.  Kyle had a play date with Kendall, Claire and Laura while I lunched with Sandy, Kim and Lexi. In the evening we went to a Holiday Party at the residence of the one and only Carrie Jones.  It was so fun to see everyone!  Our last stop was the MSU basketball game. Whew!

Christmas Eve Eve we reunited with the Tobins. Michelle and I have been friends 23 years (I just had to count that out with my mom...WOW).  Thanks to Jean and Dave for hosting and for a delicious dinner. Jean suggested that we make "Christmas Eve Eve" a tradition. I am in!

Graham and Nathan 
Kisses! (We are so going to post this at their high school graduations) 
Boys!
