Engagement Extravaganza!


Imagine that! Two weeks, two engagements -- Both of my sisters are engaged. Will be a busy and exciting year for the Baumrucker family. (Is it too soon to get William a seersucker suit for his ring bearer duties?)


Congrats to Christina & Tristan and Danielle & Sam!!!

Cellar Gate Wine Market


On Saturday night Angie and Jamie came out and we took the drive to Highwood (commonly known to people in the city as "practically Wisconsin") to visit a really fun wine shop, Cellar Gate Wine Market. They sat us in the boutique room, which was perfect for William's current wiggly, shrieky phase. As long as he has plenty to look at and Cheerios he does really well, so we try to cart him around with us while we can.

We had some nice wine, a couple of nibbles, and a great time. Their list is affordable and the owners are unpretentious and inviting.

Can't wait to go back this summer to enjoy their fantastic garden area.

Saturday Morning Market Trip




This weekend was the first Wilmette Farmer's Market of the season, though here in Wilmette they call it the French Market, but come on...
William thoroughly enjoyed his first market experience and we learned how well the bottom of a stroller doubles as a cart. The highlights for us were the kettle corn guys and the brie with apricots and almonds... Delicious.

If you're looking for something to do on a Saturday morning this summer, you'll be able to find us in the Wilmette Metra station.
