A Lull in March

Theo has resorted to sleeping in his giant fort that he made. He says he's sleeping in here until his bedroom is finished. I guess he's over sharing a room forever.


It is the best fort ever.

It's a really good fort and we've been modifying to make it even better.  

Chocolate waffles as requested by Meadow and Theo.

Marina had left behind a mask for Theo.


It was plain so Meadow painted one for him.


I guess it's about time we take down the birthday decorations. But Theo loves his new mask.

I'm wrapping up work on Theo's room. Might have to wait until Mr. Mike visits to put up the picture rail.

I didn't plan on doing any work in Theo's closet, but clearly I changed my mind. Scrapped off the wall paper, patched all the cracks and now am finishing up the paint job.


Meadow and I had a date night at the ballet. We got to take the U of M tunnels to get to the Northrop.


I've been wanting to take Meadow to a ballet for years. Finally got tickets for Giselle. Meadow is so fancy.




With Brooke and Meadow on a girls night at the ballet, Theo and I played a game of Smath.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

  Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater.  A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along.

From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river.  I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti. 

Boundary Waters Yurt Camping

Early in the week I found out that we had a chance to stay at a yurt in the Boundary Waters . Hipcamp's an awesome new site that helps you find pretty much any campsite. Since we didn't have any plans and we could stay in Duluth halfway we took the bait. We didn't need our tent or camp pads, so we packed a little different than normal.

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...
