The excuses for my absence this month include a rainy 10 days in Portland meeting this little guy who is even more adorable in person. LOVE HIM. So does his big sister who can’t walk by him without stopping to kiss his head. So sweet.

Aarhus.

DK Bound
Tomorrow morning I’m leaving the moderately cold Midwest for the moderately cold Northern Europe.

While in Portland, a few friends and I were able to get away for a girls weekend where we stayed at a fabulous hotel downtown (more to come on that). A little shopping, a little movie watching, plenty of eating, and finally, convincing two of the four of us to follow through on longtime desires...
How I met Santa Claus on The Polar Express
Once upon a time, in the far, far northwest, there was a little girl named Audrey and her little kitty named Bling. On a cold winter’s night there appeared a train outside. But this was no ordinary train, oh no. This was a special train, a magic train that would take Audrey, her mommy, daddy,...

Among other activities, my sister, niece and I, along with a dear friend and her son, trekked across state lines to visit Weinerschnitzel,...
