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.

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...

Honeymoon: Duluth, Minnesota is Not Flooded. Long Live Long-Pong.

When the waitress asked for Blake's ID and he told her he was underage we were kicked out of the Thirsty Pagan. To not miss out on our favorite pizza and beer (and we had a coupon to use up) we ordered food to go. While waiting for our food we walked around the great, but sad city of Superior, Wisc. Heading directly out the door and towards the industrial waterfront this Charlie Brown block was plopped amongst the former industry.

A Few Thoughts to Pass the Time

I'm sitting at the library, my new hang out besides random coffee shops. Class isn't for another 2 hours and I've finished all my homework. There's a guy running across holding his pants up and rush hour is just setting in. I never realized how weird Minnesotians actually are until I saw American Idol last night. They were doing auditions in Minneapolis, which Randy liked to call Minnehopeless. I thought it was just the culinary students that we're weird at my school, but no it's the whole state. The majority of the people that I know here are not actually from Minnesota, only one that truely is seems ok to me. Maybe I'm just like them but I don't want to admit it. School is alright. It keeps me busy. I like that some classes only have 10 students. Everyone in my Nutrition class eats healthy and reads the ingredient list but me. At least I get to take home everything I make in my baking class. Summer seems so far away. I need to find a place to live befo...
