Play it Again and a Library in January

Every once and a while Theo remembers I got them Switch Sports as a reward. No one ever wants to play as a family. 😭

I was out late the night before and feeling it this morning.

It must be time to go to a random Hennepin County Library.

I can only be lazy for so long.

This return pile is small compared to normal.

We also needed to get Theo a helmet for skating, so even I tagged along.

Next stop Play It Again Sports. His stick at home is for street hockey, so we also picked a wood stick up for him.

Meadow also got some new ski poles and I picked up some rollerblades for myself.

When we were in Chinatown over Christmas, Theo bought his favorite make your own gummy kit.

Brooke and I went for a walk and picked up some groceries from the co-op.

Since returning from the cottage I haven't managed to get the kids to skate.

Still the best Christmas present ever, Theo?

Once we decided to exit stage Mackinac, we had to decide what to do asap.

Sisters, a Brother and Walking Chicago

Summer always seems to mean one thing: weddings. Whether I'm shooting or attending, we're bound to end up at a few every year. This time around we were heading down to Chicago from my big sister Katrina's nuptials. I feel like all our vacations are centered around a wedding or something wedding related. I wish we could go on a vacation without having to worry about being somewhere. It also means a few repetitive trips down I-94. There aren't nearly enough unique stops off the interstate. One outlier is Foster Cheese Haus , the only organic Wisconsin cheese shop I know of. Run by the folks behind Castle Rock Organic Farms , we always try to stop by. Unfortunately for us they were closed on Wednesdays, but at least we got to spy on their darling garden out front. Brooke and I arrived in Necedah. We decided to stop at Brooke's sister Brittany's home along the way to cut the ride in half and get her dressed hemmed. ...

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...
