Free wings!

The first 100 customers at the grand opening of Buffalo Wild Wings would get free wings for a year so we did the only logical thing to do, camp out.
Me and a few friends pitched a tent in the parking lot and joined about 70 other people for a fun filled night of freezing.
We had plenty of entertainment. Garrett graced us with some harmonica.
Dustin froze in his paper thin sleeping bag. The temperature reached 21.
When morning came we were victorious and enjoyed our delicious wings.

Dancing Daddy!

Adam will occasionally dance with Andee and it is so adorable. This is Adam dancing with Andee and her friend Carter. I was making dinner so Adam was on baby duty. To entertain both of them he danced with them both!

THE BIG 4 MONTHS!

Here she is at 4-months-old. At her check-up she weighed 16 lbs. 13 oz. She is 26 1/4 inches long. She is in the 97% for her height and weight. I love my chubby little girl! She is so fun to cuddle and play with. She is growing up so fast!

Growing Up!!

Here is Andee all bundled up for going on one of her first strolls outside. I think she is just tolerating me.
"Hello!!!"-Isn't she just adorable! I was taking pictures of Adam and Andee and I was reviewing them after I took some. After I was done reviewing and went back to the screen to take a picture this is what I saw. She was just staring at me, sooo interested in the camera! It was soo cute!
Adam is so cute to watch with Andee. He always checks on her and wants to hold and play with her right when he gets home from school or studying. He is such a good daddy!
We put Andee on her blanket to just kick around and play. When we walked past her again she had the blanket pulled over her face with a smile. She just loves pulling blankets on her face. She has a certain blanket that she always loves to cuddle with and rub on her face!
Our little girl is growing up and getting so big. She isn't eating yet, we just wanted to test her out in the high chair. She did pretty good!

What is art? Are we art? Is art art?

During my break a few weeks ago, Krista, Andee and I went downtown with some friends to see the Art Institute of Chicago. I love art and I was having a blast seeing all the famous paintings I learned about in art class. Let me give you a tour.
This one is untitled by Pablo Picasso. Flashes weren't allowed but I forgot for this picture.
This is a really famous one by Picasso called The old Guitarist. What makes this one so cool is when you look at it really close you can see the shape of a woman that Picasso painted over.
This is one of my favorite pieces of art. The painting is by Georges Seurat and is called A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. The painting is huge and it is all little dots of paint, no paint strokes at all.
Every body recognizes this painting. It is by Grant Wood and it's called American Gothic. This is mine and Krista's best impression. We're the ones on the left.

How cute is this?

Krista's parents came in town for the weekend to visit, and when they visit we let them sleep in our room and we camp out in the front room. I had a test early on Monday morning so Krista had to take her parents to the airport. When I got home from my test this is what I saw. Krista and Andee sleeping next to each other holding hands. If that's not cute, then I don't know what cute is.

Sledding in a land with no Mountains.

One of the things Krista and I miss the most about living back west is the mountains. We were able to find a small hill to go sledding on to help us feel more at home. We went sledding with our friends Garrett and Mindy. As you can see, the girls had a lot of fun. Andee wasn't quite sure what to think of being outside though. After sledding we had some delicious hot chocolate and then went inside and did what we usually do, play Settlers of Catan. Love that game.
