On The Fifteenth Day Of Advent We Lounged Around in Little Chute

Not really a Christmas activity, but we got to spend time with my family who we won't get to see on Christmas.

Meadow wore her "My Mom my Loves Me" sleeper.

Long story.

Oh I guess we got to watch Blake open his stocking.

Momma Gail or G.G. or whatever she's called this week got to see a lot of little Meadow bear. She loves to smile at her grandparents.

We had waffles for breakfast.

Thanks Mr. Mike.

Meadow watched us eat in her chair again.

Blake left us to go back to Duluth.

Meadow played with Agua all day long.

Scott and I were sick of all the random crap in my parents fridge and decided to clean it out for them.

We forgot to take an after picture.

Scott made his famous spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.

I told Brooke to play with her angel hair pasta.

Meadow chewed on toys.

Brooke went shopping with Momma Gail. Mr. Mike and I watched a very grumpy Meadow for the remainder of the day.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Work Trip: Cincinnati Rules or How I walked and biked the inner core of Cincy

Another week, another 360 college campus shoot. This time I was photographing the University of Cincinnati. I was stoked to go here and tried talking Brooke into going, knowing that it's an awesome place for old house nuts like us. Unfortuntely Brooke didn't say yes until after rewards tickets disappeared. First stop was Short Vine right next to the University of Cincinnati campus. Reddit told me I needed to try out Al-Madina so that's where I headed. With no car I just walked everywhere the first couple of days. I found a place to eat behind the local library. Al-Madina is well worth a stop. This part of town was already making me fall in love with this city. Why is it not mentioned alongside Boston, New Orleans and Savannah as great American architectural cities? My room at the Graduate Hotel had a corner dedicated to local rock and roll acts. A nice touch. Cincinnati was rad. A place that felt equally East Coast while being squarely in the Midwest.
