lately, instagram style

there are so, so many reasons that I love my iPhone. I don't mean to be weird, but it does, in fact, hold my brain together for me. keeps my recipes and book lists handy. let's mark & me update the same calendar so we can *almost* always be on the same page...

and then, there is Instagram. it's a picture app that makes me happy. I follow several friends, lots of chefs & celebs I like, even places like the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. whenever anyone posts a picture, I can see it in my feed. instalove.

so, I apologize for my lack of posting. I've been instagraming! but now, I'll do both... hope you enjoy!

aquarium, aquarium

we have launched into a full-fledged
AQUATIC phase here in
stroesslerland.

we headed back to cleveland's new aquarium
to celebrate the Jaj's birthday today.

the tanks were clear 
(there's been some serious issues there)
and the sharks were baring their teeth
and the rays were ready to be pet.

here's our Marine Biologist in his happy place :)

north olmsted park

finally! those stinking 80 degree days are gone. my brain is just not prepared for July in March.

it's just silly, and unnecessary, to sweat so early in the year.

Martha hasn't lead us wrong yet :)

it just so happens that my 
Neurology Now magazine 
showed up today addressed to, 
i'm serious here,

"Rarin Stroessler."

obviously, it was time for a dance party 
to show just how Rarin i can be...
for a minute and thirty-five seconds.

One of our very favorite quotes.First uttered by little Sophie Lu,but now often spurted out by the Shu(or me!)in an effort to delay bedtime :)

as i'm sure you are :)
