A Beautiful Day in Beloit

I love this snow, but I am so happy it didn’t come on Tuesday. That’s the day Arlo and I met up with Jessica and Zadie in the quaint town of Beloit, Wisconsin. It was sunny and in the 50s and we played outside. In January!

Arlo Turns One!!

My little man turned one on December 18.

His friends came over for a cowboy party. The menu included cowboy coffee cake, chili, and chocolate malt cake. It was a fun day. Arlo is lucky to have such good friends!
