Library and Hair Dye

As usual, Meadow requested big pancake for breakfast.

Soon it will be Theo making the requests. For now it's just an affirmative, "Yay!"

The best breakfast.

We didn't really have plans today except to go to the library.

Meadow dressed up for the occasion.

Meadow's doing a biography on Maria Sharapova at school. The downtown library was the only one that had a kids book about her.

This kiddo doesn't get to the library as much as his sister used to.

We hadn't been to the library in awhile so Meadow stocked up.

More dress up shenanigans at home.

She also got to try the Oculus Go VR headset I got to show my virtual tours at an upcoming conference.

We didn't do much the rest of the day. Theo did manage to detune the guitar a few times.

We ended the night with Meadow and I dying our hair magenta.

Six Months, More Like Six Years

Approaching the 11th hour of this Sunday we finally rolled out of bed. Brooke and I made a night out of our six month since being married. In a way we could be celebrating six plus years together. I met the little lady above in February 2006. Now we garden together. We had a lovely night indeed: dinner at Red Stag and drinks at Aster Cafe. I went outside to show Brooke where our new boulevard tree was going to be planted. We found a love letter in our bushes. Brooke couldn't read it, so we let it dry on one of the radiators. The first page was mostly apologizing for not writing and then the second page turned sour with lots of swear words. We drove downtown to eat brunch. We parked across from this rare small pre-1950s building that has somehow survived in downtown Minneapolis's ongoing urban renewal. We decided to eat at La Belle Crepe since I picked up this for our post-wedding breakfast back on that October day. This creperie is...

Another Sunday

I've really been craving chocolate chip cookies. Heck, I always crave them, but I actually made a great batch on Saturday when I got home from work. I ate another one as soon as I awoke. I had to work today at noon so I got things going by making breakfast. Whole wheat oatmeal buttermilk pancakes. Brooke had a not-so-ripe banana with her pancakes. I had whatever this is. We had to go the farmers market before Brooke got drunk worked at grill fest. It was spittling (London speak for drizzling) so we turned back when we got a few blocks away and drove instead. We were really hoping for a bunch of market fresh veggies. They didn't have much beyond rhubarb, asparagus and bok choy. This time of year the market is dominated by baby plants and flowers to grow at home. Scott was jealous by how tall most of the plants already were. Next year he says we starting everything early and using grow lights. I agree. It would be nice to have tomato...

Katrina and Dennis's Big Day!

I don't shoot nearly enough weddings . I'm just not good at the whole marketing aspect. The one's I end up photographing are, like this one, family or through the grapevine. This time around I'm shooting my big (little) sister's wedding to Dennis, a man I respect immensely. I got to hang out with him a few times in Chicago and then a whole week in San Jose. I really looked forward to the bachelor party with the guys and wasn't disappointed. While the women got ready and after I helped setup the venue I came back to hang with the dudes and ostensibly get dressed. As you can see above we drank some beer and booze and shot the shit. My big brother, Colin, was the officiant and was really excited for his parking pass that was included with his ordination packet. All the women involved in the wedding gathered into Katie's room to get our hair done. Olive was just there to entertain us. And the bride is ready. At some point...
