Our 30 Days Of Biking

As you have read, this month we took on the 30 Days of Biking challenge.

We've never been able to do it for one reason or another. This time we weren't going to chicken out.

I thought it was going to be easy, but there were some days that I probably would've skipped a bike ride had I not been doing this challenge. I had planned to bike to work the whole month, but by the middle of the month it started to get too dark out during the time I leave.

Meadow and I typically would bike every afternoon that I watched her and then again when Brooke got home. We also took our bikes up to the cottage and Duluth to stay on task.

By the end of the month I kind of started looking forward to going on bike rides together after dinner. I think it also forced us to ride our bikes instead of taking the car to short distances. We lucked out with the mild month and I would definitely try this again next year.

They biked to the park apparently. Meadow and I also took a spin around the neighborhood at sunset.

We'll definitely try again in April. Maybe we can do every day from April until September next year.

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....

Fall Adventures with the Kids (without Scott)

While Scott was exploring ( I was working...) California the kids and I were back home. Porch breakfast and planning for our upcoming Washington road trip. Today we had plans to go apple picking and hiking. I packed us a picnic lunch for our day. Meadow had earned some money recently and with her money bought herself a music stand. It arrived today. Then the kids and I drove to Whistling Well Farms to go apple picking. We had been here a couple times in the past few years.

Our One Year Anniversary

We had decided to not get each other anything, but I couldn't help myself. Although Scott said he wanted to surprise me by making a cake. I had been wanting to get him a crepe pan and our Anniversary seemed like a good excuse. The whole cake thing fell through when I had a wedding to shoot on Saturday.
