Early November and Not Many Photos

German apple pancake for breaky.

We still had some apples left from apple picking.

Yesterday Meadow and I did some early Christmas shopping in our neighborhood. We stopped in our friend Amanda's Vintage Shop, Tandem Vintage, where Meadow found the perfect sweater. She's so cute.

Theo wanted to be in the picture too.

I have no clue what this picture is about? Sorry, sometimes I'm lazy. Brooke on the other hand never stops busy bodying.

Meadow wants to sew something for a Christmas gift so we headed to Joann's to pick up supplies.

Tonight the time changes so Theo and I took advantage of the last day of evening sun. Poor kid really struggles with learning to ride a bike.

I have no clue why the training wheels are on. He was doing really good on his balance bike at the beginning of summer. Probably should take them off.

He still struggles with using pedals and steering at the same time.

Then Meadow started her project.

And I worked on mine.

On the way to school this week, Theo complained his neck was cold. I realized he doesn't have a scarf so I made him one in his favorite color.

The kids got bean bags a few Christmas's ago and they are already starting to flatten. We also picked up today some more bean bags.

Meadow also like to relax. Brooke was surely still busy.

Probably.

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....

The Biggest Maple Tree in Minnesota

On the night before St Patricks Day, Meadow made a leprechaun trap. Maybe next year Meadow. Meadow was having a rough morning and needed a hug. She wanted to play Zelda all day long. The rest of us wanted to go on a hike. We spend so much time getting these kids to get outside and once they are outside they don't want to come back in. Scott chose this weeks hike based off his current love of old growth forests. Wolsfeld Woods SNA just west of the cities in Medina. It's home to the tallest sugar maple in the state.

Work Trip: Flushing Queens, Chinatown and Buffalo Briefly

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.
