Spring we love you. As you begin to warm our bodies, we begin to go out more. It is a heavenly thing - and Max really enjoys not being so bundled up. So last weekend we decided to check out Lincoln Square. While once a
Bavarian dream, this neighborhood has been upgrading itself to an ethnic powerhouse. It was time to take a look.
We started at the local German grocery store. Was I surprised to see a bounty of
wieners? No.
Were people buying wieners a plenty? Yes.
Bienenstich...a delicious European classic. Honey, almonds, cake, wow.
Caitlin
likey. In fact, she became very territorial about her new treat. She eyes some birds who are hoping for a few crumbs. Sorry birds...no way.
Oh my gosh. This kid rocks. He loves to explore.
We checked out a local record store and bought a used copy of
Sufjan Steven's "Come on feel the
Illinoise" which we have been enjoying. Caitlin fed Max in a coffee shop.
Post feeding? Max is always happy.
A local bookstore caught our attention for a while and we got a gift for a friend there.
A nice couple of blocks. Then we decided to go to a bakery about 1/2 mile north of Lincoln Square.
It ended up being more of a place that you buy cakes. We bought pretty much one of everything they had that wasn't an entire cake.
A tasty little collection of goodness.
It did make for good picture taking with our baby boy.
Caitlin and I noticed that we don't have a ton of pictures of her and Max together, so we are going to change that. They look really cute together. Don't you agree?

We were SO CLOSE to moving to Lincoln Square. But I'm glad we moved to Evanston because we really like you guys and your wife makes amazing cinnamon rolls that we can just walk by and partake of. :)
