Eric's Wedding



Two weeks ago we went to Georgia for Eric and Helen's wedding. Here are pictures of Ryan (best man) and his dad, John and Aunt Laura. We had a great time, stayed in a great inn and had a wonderful weekend with Ryan's family and friends. I didn't get to take too many wedding photos - too busy chasing the boys - but hopefully we'll get some. Alex made a friend, Tanner, and they went hiking together and hunted for rocks. Ryan took Alex and Owen on a hike and I got to go shopping with Laura and Cindy. All 3 boys were unbelievably good for the long car ride!

We all participated in a rousing game of "Dance, Dance Revolution" at the TriCounty Mall, just before going to The Disney Store to purchase our Halloween costumes (Power Ranger & Peter Pan). It's nice having such a great mall nearby. I just wish I could shop there! For some reasons, Ann Taylor doesn't hold the boys' attention for very long!

Boring Food Post




It's silly, but I wanted to post this pic of my Shrimp/Chicken Scampi - it's going in a local cookbook! The newspaper came over and took a picture, and the book will be out towards the end of November. They asked me to add some recipes to their Thanksgiving supplement, too.

Seven Caves, Ohio










Love this place. Alex, Owen, John and I went to Seven Caves, about an hour from here. Gorgeous and full of plants I've never seen. Absolutely beautiful. As you can see from the pictures, John was a little anxious about the caves. Alex was very excited about the potential to find rocks, but we weren't allowed to take any! Owen was ready to jump off any available cliff and had to be watched, closely. Note to moms: they say the trail is paved, it isn't. Be prepared to carry your babies for 3 miles - no strollers allowed, they may ruin the natural vegetation. You know what else ruins it? Dropped babies.
