Moodypolluza!

Sean's father borrowed his sister's house in Delevan for the week and we had a fantastic time!  19 kiddos running around aged 3 weeks to 14 years - wow!

We headed to Miller Park for the Brewer's game and caught a Grand Slam and the Weiner race!

Happy Birthday Mom!

 It was a gorgeous night for my mom's birthday so we cruised over to Lake Geneva by boat.

Time for the big reveal!

She seemed pleased with a family trip!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Happy Birthday Molly & Charlie!!

Happy birthday to the two cutest one year olds around!

The slushee station was a big hit!

As was the taco station!

The best part!

DMB

A few weekends ago I headed to Alpine Valley in Wisconsin to see Dave Matthews Band play with Sean and the McDermott brothers (his cousins) and Leslie.  We had a blast!

Dave played from 7:30-11:30 with only one break - incredible!  Lots of solos by Boyd, Tim, and Carter.  Good stuff!

Great venue, great weather, great group!

North Pond

On this gorgeous Sunday we headed up to North Pond for a delicious brunch!

 

It was a 3 course meal.  I started with Crab and Tomato



 Followed by Arctic Char and Corn

Sean had Pork and Cucumber

 

Desert for me was Peach and Blackberry Panna Cotta 

 

For Sean and Almond and Blueberry Cake

 Gorgeous city views

Gorgeous day!

1.5 year anniversary

For our 1.5 year anniversary we headed to NoMI at the Park Hyatt to use up my $70 in points that were about to expire.  This Chicago gem did not disappoint - the food, view, and service were all first team!

 

We split a bowl of the delicious asparagus bisque with rhubarb and goat cheese.

 

Cheese and cured meat creeper!

The gold standard by which we will now judge all charcuterie platters...

 

Nice touch NoMI



We were both too full to eat my amazing dinner...but the cherry cranberry pie was amazing!
