Ye Olde Renaissance Faire

We headed to the Renaissance Fair last month and had a wonderful time. This fair is about an hour southwest of Columbus and is an entire little village. There are shows, jousting, and yummy medieval food. I got soup in a bread bowl - yum!
Here are some pics of those that went with us. I didn't dress up this year as my dress wouldn't fit. But Erik and Jenna dressed up (notice the cute hat on her head!). Aaron and Michell also dressed up. It was celtic weekend and Aaron and Michelle made their own costumes. Jon, Michelle, Jen, and Mike also came dressed in their medieval attire, and Missy and Dan came along as well (not dressed up though).


In other news:

1. Tim and Jen moved into their new house in Plain City. It is sad they are farther away from us but I'm happy for them to have a new house.
2. Erik and I have finally decided on new plates for our kitchen. Our current plates (pfaltzgraff amalfi classic) got completely scratched from our silverware. When we called them to complain, they said some silverware was too hard. So we got these plates from amazon (hopefully our silverware won't scratch them).
3. I was told today I need to find a new OB. My doctor is on a leave of absence and not delivering babies for awhile (she is going through a divorce). I wish this would have been communicated to me prior to 32 weeks!!!
4. My little sister turned 30. Wow.
5. Now that I can't have too many sweets, I've fallen in love with dark chocolate.
6. Jen is hosting a sprinkle for me on Sunday. I can't wait!!! She's even making low carb food!
7. Thanksgiving is next week. I love the holidays! Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time. I should make a list of my favorite holidays. Thanksgiving would be high on the list. National fast food day (that is today) would not be.
8. Tomorrow Ohio State plays Michigan. Go Bucks!! I hope we win. Jenna will be cheering!
9. I got 69 on Quiddler today. I was able to make the word cinder but they wouldn't let me make the word jon. Isn't that a slang term for potty?

I'm back - fat and sassy!

This picture is why I love fall and why I love our backyard. How gorgeous! I love to look out on this every day. Unfortunately it doesn't last long. Jenna loves it too and we often will walk around and pick leaves (especially the pretty ones).

Well I'm back after a month long leave of blogging. I've turned in my dissertation so now I have some free time. Hopefully it will be acceptable to my advisor and I can graduate soon. It has been a long 6 years.

Since I have a month to catch up on, I'll be posting pictures often. At the beginning of October we went to my friend's parent's farm. We got to see pigs, donkeys, a combine, and got to experience farm life. Here is a picture of a baby pig with Jenna and Rachel looking on. The kids also posed for a picture in front of the pigs. They are: Rachel, Jenna, Aiden, and Grace. We had a great time at farm day!



In other news:

1. I found out a few weeks ago that I have gestational diabetes. Now I have to prick my finger 4 times a day and take my blood sugar. I also have to limit sweets. Since I have a MAJOR sweet tooth this has been hard.
2. Our new semester started and I'm only teaching Tuesday and Thursday nights. yea!! This is a great schedule. I'm also teaching courses I love so I'm happy with this semester :).
3. The Buckeyes have had an incredible year. We need to teach Jenna "OH" "IO" to be a proper cheerleader.
   
4. The Red Sox won the World Series. Yea! My husband might turn me into a Red Sox fan. The last time they won we were pregnant with Jenna. I guess they only win when we are going to have a baby. More babies for us!!!
5. 54 points on Quiddler today. Not bad considering I lost the Q at the end.

Take my poll please!
