New Year's Fun!

We were so excited when we got to Minneapolis and saw SNOW! Hooray!! We brought all our winter things along on this trip only to have fall-like weather in Madison, so we were thrilled to be able to show Adeline some snow in Minneapolis. She saw snow last year in Sweden but I'm sure she doesn't have any memories of that. This was her first true introduction to snow when she could actually play in it.

All ready to play in the snow!
We did a little driving around Uptown (our Airbnb was in Lowry Hill) to take a trip down memory lane and see all the changes. In some ways it's completely different, but in other ways it's exactly the same! After our drive around the lakes we stopped by the Sculpture Garden. Adeline loved walking through the snow and the big blue chicken!









When we got back home Adeline and Will got a little silly in the car!






During Adeline's nap time we got to watch the Gopher's win their bowl game! Hooray! She woke up just in time to see the last couple minutes of the game and celebrate with us! Then we headed out to HeadFlyer Brewing to meet up with some of our friends from our days in Minneapolis. Of course with all the craziness of the kids around we didn't manage to make a picture happen, but it was so nice to see everyone!

Happy Halloween!

Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B...

Happy Birthday Will!

No, today isn't Will's actual birthday, it's June 10th, but he is going to be in Hawai`i for a work trip, so we celebrated a little bit early today and made it into his birthday! Continuing with the theme of exploring new places with this beautiful weather, I drove Will out to Stinson Beach and Bolinas for the day. It's about an hour away, and again, thanks to being up early with Adeline, we pulled in and got a great parking spot right before the rush. It was such a gorgeous (but very windy, as in curvy, not strong wind) road! We started our day with brunch on the patio at Breaker's Cafe. We walked around the "town," all one block of it, and saw that there was live music at the other restaurant across the street, Sand Dollar Restaurant. (Yep, two restaurants!) We grabbed a seat and a drink and soaked up the beautiful weather. Adeline loved the music! And she even got a super cute onesie from one of the waitstaff! So cute she's getting free things ...

Play Time!

Our friends Nate and Emily gifted us this wonderful play gym that Adeline just loves! Today was her first day playing on it and she had such a good time holding on to and playing with the animals, watching the mobile on top and listening to the music, and even got in a little tummy time! Here's a video for you to click on:
