About the Family

What started as 2 kids from Tuttle has turned into a not so perfect, sometimes messy, but usually full of laughter little family. After marriage we added a perfect a little basset hound, and an even better little baby girl. We love our real life!

Maggie Has Finally Arrived! (Well, she did about a month ago)

Maggie Ann Huff arrived on September 26th, 2011 at 7.53 pm.  Yes, I realize that was over a month ago, but this being at home with a newborn all day is tough stuff. :)  I figured it was finally time to post some pictures of our little girl on the blog since that was one of the original purposes.  To answer your first question, we have no idea where all that hair came from.

 



Maggie loved getting to meet all her grandparents, and my guess is that they loved getting to meet her too. 







Her first month entailed lots of naps, baths, diapers changes, and of course quite a few tears.   








And of course, Maggie got to meet her big sister Harlee.  They are both a little unsure of each other, but my guess is they will become best friends one day.  We are well on our way to one big happy family!

Meagans Birthday Lunch (and my first attempt at a Food Blog)

Today is Meagan's 27th birthday. I took the day off to so I could spend the day with her and Maggie before she goes back to work. For lunch we went to Utica Square to eat at one of our favorite restaurants, Wild Fork. Meagan loves their Chicken Fried Chicken. We don't get by there for lunch very often, and that is the only time the chicken fried chicken or steak is offered. You get two good sized chicken breasts, battered with a cornmeal breading with a side of mashed potatoes (at least that was Meag's choice).

I had one of the lunch specials, which was not on the menu. It was a beef sandwich on toasted Italian bread with carmalized onions, shredded brisket and a creamy horseradish. For a side I chose the jalapeƱo coleslaw. It was some of the best coleslaw I have ever eaten. I have never had spicy coleslaw, but it was amazing! The beef sandwich had just the right amount of sweet and salty, and the creamy horseradish held it all together (although it was a bit messy!). It was one of my favorite sandwiches. I just wish it was a permanent item on the menu.

We had a great time...including Maggie, although she didn't get to enjoy the food!
