On The Twenty-Second Day Of Advent We Saw An Old Friend

The next morning we had plans to meet up with our wedding officiator for breakfast. Meadow thought we were going to walk there.

We were going to Comet, so that wasn't possible. This guy loves Milwaukee.

Olger was a little late (had car troubles), but that smile showed up eventually.

We had some late breakfast.

We caught up on life. Olger is finishing up med school. I'm proud of this guy.

Olger had some chores to do, so we went our separate ways.

My cousin Katie is the head pastry chef at a new doughnut shop, Holey Moley Coffee and Doughnuts in the Third Ward. Of course we had to go check it out.

I got the S'mores doughnut.

Mine was egg nog flavor and very good.

After this Meadow took a nap while we finished Orange is the New Black. Then we, as in Scott, drove the five-ish hours to Grand Rapids.

You Can Still Garden in the Condo Life

Good morning, Theo! Good morning Minneapolis.

August Adventures Back in Minnesota

I had a brief lull a fter being super busy in the early summer. So I took the kids up to Lindstrom with me to pick up a lens and go on a little adventure. We found a cool little shop along Lindstrom's main drag, A Ghost in the Attic . Meadow wanted every little knickknack. She did get some really cool glow in the dark alien cat earrings. Then we went to the Franconia Sculpture Park . I used to take the kids here every summer. Feel like we hadn't been back in years. We explored for a while, but it was way too hot. These kids can't handle the heat, so we made our way back toward home. We all decided on Jay's Thai Kitchen for a lunch on the way home. This place ruled. Back in Minneapolis, we all walked over to Victors for breakfast. I had been wanting to take the kids out for breakfast all summer and today was the first time it finally worked out for all of us to go. I love this place. After a warm end to the week, it was nice to have a rainy Saturday. Look how gre...

Camping at Great River Bluffs State Park Along the Mighty Mississippi

Scott had a job in Rochester so we decided to make a weekend of it and go camping. Was nice to finally get out of town with Brooke and the kids for the first time since the 4th of July. Before we left on our little trip, Scott and I scored a deal for a porch swing on Facebook Marketplace. Our porch is my favorite room and now it looks even better with the swing. I'd like it better if it didn't have storm windows and was open air like it's meant to be. After Scott's quick shoot in Rochester we were ready for lunch. Every time I go to Rochester, I eat at Al Madina . Apparently if a Middle Eastern restaurant has that name it's good. You also know a restaurant is good if you're the only white people there. It was fun to share this place with the family. These kids can be super picky but are also little foodies. You just have to know their favorites. They absolutely love gyros and falafel. We stopped at the local library quick so Scott could use the wifi. This ...
