I haven't been taking many pictures lately, so the posts have been few, but here are some pics from New Years weekend in Illinois. The month of January has been busy for Janelle and I, as she just completed quarterly grades, and I am back to a full surgery schedule. This past Wednesday we got to take in our first Detroit Red Wings game, as one of the doc's gave us tickets. I have this weekend off so we are going to the International Auto Show! A true Detroit experience.

The above pics are from a light show in Peoria IL that Janelle and I enjoyed with her relatives over New Years weekend, so if you are ever in Peoria... :o)

Janelle with Solverson ladies, enjoying Chicago's Magnificent Mile (aka. Michigan Avenue) and the original Marshall Fields with its extravagant seven floors of shopper's bliss.

Final moments with friends in Chicago before returning to Detroit
