Steak & Swings

Today was as good as it gets for a January Saturday. After cooking up some steak and eggs we headed over to the park as the afternoon temperatures rose past 60. So as my Chicago friends are freezing in sub zero temperature, I was happy to be having a beer outside in a short sleeved shirt while Kajsa enjoyed the swing.

I can get used to these types of Winters.

Visiting Austin

We packed up and headed to Austin for the week to hopefully find a new home. Viggo played at the airport, had to be bribed with a cookie at 10.30 in the morning to be quiet, but overall was great on the flight thanks to the iPad.

Therese found her way over to the largest Whole Foods in America and we picked up some salads and a mixture of great beers to take back to the hotel room.

So far we are in love with Austin. The weather is amazing, the people are exceptionally nice, and the city seems filled with great restaurants (if only we had someone to watch the kids).

Da Bears

I was fortunate enough to get a great seat to the Bears playoff game against Seattle (Thanks Matt). The crowd was insane, the snow was coming down, and the Bears killed them on the field. What a way to say goodbye to Chicago sports with a convincing playoff victory, and of course I had to buy Viggo a Chicago Bears hat.
