jessie + dustin: March 2015
http://jessiedustin.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
March 28, 2015. Photos from the rest of this Winter, including a trip to VA. These two and their popcorn :). She started dance class at the gym and ballet/tap in our neighbor's basement studio. Sunny days at the park in between all the snow. She suddenly loves unloading the dishes. Cried through her first dance performance. Birthday lunch @ Snooze. They bake my birthday cake. Found them like this when I came out of the dressing room. She takes her in-flight safety very seriously. Day at the museum, DC.

jessie + dustin: November 2013
http://jessiedustin.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
November 4, 2013. My mom offered to make Clara's halloween costume and dug through her old patterns until she found this one. 20 years ago she made it for my sisters. And now for Clara. The balloons were my touch (she's obsessed with balloons and loved it. And was crazy about her plastic "punkie". These were taken at our ward halloween party. With her friend Avery. Even though she was once again sick we took her trick or treating for a few minutes. She started saying "tick tweet" after a few houses).

August 12, 2013. I should have titled this post "the weeks I wore the same shirt every day" (or at least every time I was caught on camera). I promise I washed it a few times in between :). Summary of the last few weeks: sick baby (to include teething) and tired us. So basically a collection of random photos to share of nothing much except runny noses, trips to the park, and a few other outings. Yum and yes, she ate some. Clara was sick so no smiles. Helping in the kitchen. Butcher and the Burger. The ne...

June 21, 2013. Back at the beginning of May I had my friend and photographer (and then neighbor), Bryn Stucki, take pictures of Clara (who wasn't her happiest self that day and kept giving us her crooked chomping smile- thank you, teething- but glares and all I love them anyway). Oh, and there was no styling involved. we just let her little bit of hair do its thing. Here are a few of my favorites. Thank you for capturing these, Bryn! Links to this post. June 17, 2013. And a few other moments). Kristin an...

jessie + dustin: that time I fell in love with San Francisco
http://jessiedustin.blogspot.com/2015/03/that-time-i-fell-in-love-with-san.html
March 27, 2015. That time I fell in love with San Francisco. Clara and I escaped the January snow and spent a few days staying with Kristin and M in Menlo Park (right near Stanford/Palo Alto) and LOVED our time there. They were wonderful hosts (tiny crowded apartment and all- we are used to such things! I would live in the Bay area in a heartbeat if it wasn't so unreasonably expensive. Anyway, we spent a lot of time soaking up the sun and exploring downtown one day. Ah, that sun! August 15, 2006.

July 30, 2013. Chicago friends, isn't this huge, empty. Finally we made it. And Dustin showed up with the wrong car, which meant no car seat. So parents of the year that we are, Dustin drove us home (thanks to Chicago traffic, we weren't going more than 20 mph the whole way) while I sat in back and held a feverish spasming sort-of-sleeping baby in my arms. We did speak with the doctor. And get her fever under control. But she's still sick (going on day 4). Poor baby girl.]. Links to this post. And ice cr...

April 29, 2013. Saturday we found out that the place we were super excited about moving into a month from now. Just sold. and the new owners plan on gutting and renovating it over the next year. So they've cancelled our lease and we have 4 weeks to find a new place before we're homeless. Here we go again. On a happier note:. It was gorgeous this weekend. So we went to the zoo and ran around the park. And took a few pictures of it all. Clara's latest obsessions: sunglasses and walking). Links to this post.

February 16, 2015. I've been updating my recipe blog like crazy, so it's about time I caught up here. Let's begin with the worst part of parenting EVER! Tied with sleep training. At least unlike sleep training I only had to do it once. So maybe it's the second worst.). We threw a potty party to motivate her (decorations and books and movies, etc.) and taught dolly how to use the potty and bribed her and after about 10 accidents the first day and only a few the second, she was mostly trained! Oh, Clara :) .

October 25, 2013. I've been focusing on my recipe blog (it's getting a makeover very soon! And been neglecting this one. But we're still here in Chicago with nothing too exciting to share lately. Also, fall here. Was gorgeous. (What little bit of it we got.). Photos from the last two months, with a few notes. Poor thing face-planted and looked adorable with a purple-blue nose. Baby boots and skinny jeans (that must be unbuttoned after breakfast). Lincoln (our next-door neighbor) turned 1. August 15, 2006.

December 9, 2013. Thanksgiving and a Wedding. Photos from before and during and after our Thanksgiving. Our week in Utah included Thanksgiving and Katelyn's Wedding, with most of these photos being of the wedding. I'm sad that we didn't take more pictures with all of the friends and family we visited. After the wedding we were exhausted from photo-taking and didn't do justice to the rest of the trip. November 23, 2013. This was my favorite moment. In Alpine for Thanksgiving. On our way home.
