Meadow Goes to School and a Sleepy Sunday

By
We had got back from northern Minnesota a couple days before Meadow had to start school. On that Monday I had no time to do anything. I wanted to take Meadow on an adventure before she was at school everyday.

The day before school started I took Meadow and Theo to Lindstrom. We got lunch at the Swedish Inn.

Then we got some treats at the Lindstrom Bakery.

Meadow was super excited for the molasses gingerbread bear.

Of course, we had to stop by the Franconia Sculpture Park.

They always get to go without me.



Meadow's never happier than a couple hours running around, checking out the strange and beautiful sculptures.

She was also loving her Batgirl pose.

This time she was really into this mirror sculpture.


She's suddenly become quite the fashion model. Funny kid.

Then our little Meadow had her first day of school. 

Wonder Woman lunchbox. Check.

Cool shoes. Check. She was ready for a day at her new school.


Theo didn't like that his buddy was leaving him alone at home.




At the end of the day she stood a bit taller.

The following Monday was Labor Day. We had stayed in town, I shot my buddies wedding, the family attended and we didn't do much of anything that Sunday. Monday was more of the same.

Meadow requested chocolate Big Pancake with sprinkles.

Since coming back from our trip our house has been in chaos. This is my I finally got the living room clean dance.

This is my "she just put everything in the hamper for me to put away days later" face.

Not everyone gets to stay home all day.
Do you like the living room clean Theo?

Yes, yes I do.

Onto the dining room.

Meadow wanted to see how big Theo is.

We lounged around the house, cleaned up and made a grocery list.

Today we didn't have much going on for a Labor Day. Since we had that wedding on Saturday we stuck around the city. It's been a long time since we haven't done anything on this holiday weekend.

We're almost always at the cottage or on another adventure for Labor Day. Instead we went grocery shopping. To our surprise the co-op was open and Costco was closed. 

Theo loves avocado.

He's become so hands on. I remember not too long ago he'd be dropping anything you handed him.

Theo helped me prep dinner. Cauliflower and corn tacos are hard to beat.

Such a easy and tasty summer meal.

Before bed Theo checked out Meadow's tent bunk. She's a little rough with him sometimes. He was not having it.

Usually he doesn't mind being by Meadow.

It's just the start of their love-hate relationship.

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: Flushing Queens, Chinatown and Buffalo Briefly

By
Well, you didn't think I was done traveling for work, did you? I swear I had a shoot in rural in Bradford, PA. But you'll never know it. I got there late and had to leave straight for Buffalo to fly out to NYC for a shoot on Long Island. I did manage to briefly stop in Western New York State's Ellicottvile. I managed to get back to Buffalo with just enought time to stop for a Beef on Weck at Charlie the Butcher's Kitchen . While I quite liked Baltimore Pit Beef, I think Beef on Weck is even better. An unsung American sandwich hero. It's really about that bun. A cross between a kaiser roll and pretzel bun. Amazing stuff.

Tuska Brothers' Packers Weekend or How We Ate Our Way Through Green Bay

By
My rad brother hooked us up with a pair of Packers tickets at Lambeau. We've been talking about doing this for years now and it was finally happening! A Tuska Brothers' Packers Weekend. We met up at the bar at Kroll's West where he was already noshing on a sausage and black olive pizza. Are we even brothers? Doesn't he know that sausage always goes with green bell peppers or spinach? We got the cheapest hotel room in town at the Bay Motel and Family Restaurant . It looks straight out of the 50s and I don't think its trying to be cute. To be honest the place is just nice. After settling in we got beer over at Badger State Brewing. Our friend Jordan , who we just met up with a few weeks back in Seattle, designed some of their newest cans. So we had to stop by. That's so cool. After a couple of beers we drove up the bay to Club Chalet in Benderville for an authentic Wisconsin Supper Club experience.
