Meadow @ 2 Years

By

Two years old is so much better than the newborn stage. Every new stage is always so much better than the last. 

Meadow weighs 23 pounds and is 31 inches tall.

She loves running, climbing, going for bike rides, singing, playing in her sand box and being outside.

Her favorite book is Dr Suess' ABC. Her favorite color is green. Her favorite letter is H. 

Her favorite foods are pancakes, any fruit, oatmeal, cucumbers, yogurt, milk, noodles, and avocados.


She is currently working on her back molars. She still likes to bite things when she's excited.

She probably knows over 100 words. Her favorite letter is H and favorite shape is a heart. Whenever she drops something she says, "Where'd it go?"

She usually goes to bed around 9 and wakes up around 9-9:30. I love that she's still a late sleeper.

Bu Bye Chicago, Hello Milwaukee

By
The morning after the wedding we had leftover bagels for breakfast.
...and Brooke looked out the window.
Haha that's not me, that's Emma. See what I mean? My own husband can't tell the difference. 
By the way did you know we had roommates in our hotel room?
I also ate leftover pie from the wedding. 

Despite having to be quiet at night we enjoyed sharing our room with Tyler, Emma and Olive. It was kind of like a big sleepover.
Then we had to check out and head to Pilsen for lunch.
Tyler had been talking up Nuevo Leone for a while now, so we skipped Burrito House this time.

Next time it's a must. That's two times in a row that I didn't go to Burrito House. 
Pilsen is one my favorite Chicago neighborhoods, so I was easily cajoled.
I'm not exactly sure how they do their laundry with the machine facing the window.


Tyler, Emma and Olive got lost or something, so we walked around for a bit.
Brooke really wanted to eat this hot dog, but I said "No, it's a paint…

Faribault Bike Ride Makes Us Buy Meadow a New to Her Bike

By
Scott had some shoots south of the metro so we tagged along for the day. 
After shooting the quickest shoots I've ever done we ended up in Faribault. We got food at the lowest rated Mexican restaurant in the southern Minnesota city. My instincts say these folks don't have a taste for authentic Mexican food and I was right. Restaurante El Colibri was so good.
The trick to finding good Mexican food is avoiding the places that have the typical Mexican restaurant decor, you know the ones with the painted seats. 
We brought along our bikes so we could take the Sakatah Singing Hills  State Trail. 15 miles from Fairbault is the namesake Sakatah Lake State Park. There they have 4 bike in camp spots (they were reduced to two because of COVID). We thought about bike camping there , but sites are first come first served and we'd hate to bike there with all our stuff only to find they were full.
Always doing tricks.
Instead we just went for a nice, really flat, bike ride.

Christmas

By
For the two of us Christmas means a lot from-scratch cooking. It also usally means a trip to Little Chute and Cudahy, our hometowns in Wisconsin. 
Since we weren't going home, my parents were going to come up for the weekend, but my mom wasn't feeling well at the last moment.
With Scott having to work Christmas Eve and me having to work on Monday we decided driving home wouldn't be worth it. So on Christmas Eve I prepped our Christmas dinner while Scott was helping all the procrastinators. 

But the show had to go on. It was going to be a smaller occasion, but you can't just ignore Christmas after all. 

I woke up Christmas morning at 6 am. Not because I was excited to open my gifts, but to bring out the challah and cinnamon rolls so they could proof. 


For the last five Christmases we've opened presents with Brooke's whole family.
This was the first time in my life that I haven't spent Christmas with my family. Today didn't really feel like Christmas, it was…
