Uh-oh

Two days ago she would merely rock in place on all fours...

Yesterday she up and started chasing the dogs...

Today she's crawling on command...

I think we're in trouble. Off to Walgreen's for some socket stuffers!

Mr. & Mrs. Joe & Tisha Backer

Oh what a weekend!

My little brother Joe got married in Chicago this weekend to our favorite candidate, Tisha Alexander (kidding T, kidding!). J & T couldn't have pulled off a better weekend. We ate well, drank better and partied the weekend away at places like Michigan Ave, English, the Chicago History Museum, ESPNZone, Corcoran's and the Backer's condo in Bucktown.

It was great getting to know the Alexanders and better yet officially welcoming Tisha to the family!

Thanks for the amazing weekend... Love you guys!

Editor's note: One measly pic doesn't do this weekend justice...we'll refresh this page in a few weeks with some highlights from the wedding photographer's album.

Already?

Just days into October, Minnesota experienced it’s first snowfall of the season. Ugh.

At least Evie didn’t seem to mind!

Absolutely Favreulous

Linds and I took in “Round 1” on Monday, compliments of the Maxwells (thanks guys!). Say what you will about the Metrodome, but when that place is rocking, it doesn’t get much better...

I don’t know that I could write anything about that game that hasn’t been written a million times, but that was one for the ages. Skol Vikings, Skol.

Jaime's big day

Linds, Evie and I trekked down to Cinci for Jaime’s wedding this past weekend. Linds and Jaime go way back, and she was honored to be a part of her ol’ pal’s big day.

Evie got an A+ for her behavior during the ceremony, a B+ for dinner and a C- for the reception. Thankfully, Grandma and Grandpa Maxwell were there to save the day and let Linds and I enjoy the party. This worked so smoothly that we’ve hired them to be on hand full time for this coming weekend’s big event.

Great times J & R!
