The Wedding
One of my college friends was married in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Mika and I went and left Paul and Jackson in Denver. I think this was the first time I was away from Jackson for a whole weekend. It was kind of nice to have a break, but every time I heard a small kid jabbering it made me miss him. Also, funny how when you're a first-time mom and flying alone with a baby it's so stressful. When you're a second-time mom flying alone with a baby, it's a piece of cake.
Oh! A nice big window with a great view!
Except not.
Not bad for a $2 thrift store dress, eh?
The bride and groom!
The Business Trip- Steamboat Springs
Paul had to go to Steamboat Springs again, and I was NOT going to sit in the house with the kids Sunday through Thursday alone. Paul almost disinvited us because we were trying to get out the door at 1 so we could check in the hotel and make it to dinner at 6, both kids were crying, Jackson was doing something terrible-twoish, I wasn't done packing at 1, etc. But both kids were good on the drive there and back. The kids and I didn't really do much except window shop.
Steak with crab meat, covered in bearnaise sauce. They grated the potatoes, deep fried the ball, and covered it with cheese. One of the best steaks we've ever eaten.

We also had elk steaks, but they put a ton of pepper on it so I couldn't really taste the meat.
Fall Festival
In typical Micaela fashion, I didn't really realize that this weekend was the last one to go to a fall festival until Friday, so we scrambled to find one and go. Of course we went to one with free admission and free parking and were too cheap to buy a pumpkin.
Reason #87 of why I love having a daughter: Halloween tutus!
"Jackson, smile!"

I really wanted $3.50 pumpkin bread and only had two dollar bills. So Paul was mean and took a picture of me counting out dimes so I could buy it :)
