Week 135 - Breakfast With Daddy

In the past, "breakfast with daddy" has gone hand in hand with day-drinking, so Nanner decided that she'd better hydrate.

I told her we were going out for pancakes and that we'd find a place to sit outside and eat.

Nice deck, wrong table.

Right table, waiting for pancakes.

Worth the wait.

Out to Kitsch'n, the old neighborhood staple.  Happy Daddy, happy Nanner.

Week 134 - Waterworks

Nanner showed her soft side and shared a sad face picture with NOW fans (see frowny face and tears below eyeballs).

Continuing the water theme but without the sensitivity.  Nanner took charge in the backyard. It's okay, Nanner can't tell them apart either.

Somehow the twins managed a wardrobe change between pool filling and pool swimming.  Huh.  

Week 133 - Flat Broke and Busted

PBR connect four is all fun in games until you fall flat on your face.  Nanner sustained minor injuries to her lip and knees.  She persevered and the result was one of the best NOW couch shots in recent memory (sadly, Aimee asked me to photoshop out the...um...PBR incident).

One little bump didn't stop the Nanner from having fun.  Luckily for Jane the 2112 isn't a "no shirt no shoes" establishment.

Week 132 - Neighbor Nanner

"Daddy sometimes forgets to put on pants...why can't I?"

Nanner was tickled pink after learning she was invited to the neighborhood block party.  Until she realized she couldn't decide what to wear.

For the record, this one counts as a Drinking With Daddy incident as well.

Until two solutions came to light.  1. Wear a blue tshirt like daddy and forget about it, and 2. Everyone was so far gone on Zombie Dust (not PBR) that it didn't matter

Week 131 - Apples and BaNanners

"....baloooga"

Bribes are now a regular part of our routine.  PlayDoh for the weekly NOW photo and Raffi for teeth brushing time.

Though sucking down toothpaste doesn't exactly qualify as brushing.

In addition to the whitest teeth in Roscoe Village, this has resulted in excellent imaginative motor skills, and the Baby Beluga chorus being permanently burned into our collective memory.  Joy.

Week 130 - Nanner Family Normalcy

 

BFV over, Nanner headed back (on the Zephyr with daddy) to the 2112 to resume regularly scheduled activities.

Like being the queen of her backyard.

Week 129 - Faithfully Yours

"Daddy I thought King James was a basketball player"

Back to back Nanner posts involving faith and virtue?  What's going on here?

"Dude, this is brutal."
"Fuck yeah" 

Oh...we're here for modern architecture.  Yes Nanner, King James is a basketball player, and that's all you need to know.

"That light?  Well...that's God...in the details"

Week 128 - Virtuous Nanner

Really...is there anything more virtuous than a 2-year old sitting on a tree stump in a cloud of bubbles?

While the rest of the Barker clan bickered and squabbled, the ray of sunshine which is the Nanner was able to transcend, and brought a sweet (yet also sometimes dry and a bit tart) presence to Barker Family Vacation.

Virtue Cider - Fennville, MI

Ah...speaking of sweet, dry, and tart...Nanner (of course) joined her pops on several alcohol themed stops with the fam; including this gem founded by a former Chicago brewmaster.
