OSU and UC Football Games

This was a busy fall with Sharon and I taking the opportunity to attend two college games! We first made it to the OSU vs Wisconsin game in October. The weather was great and we had alot of fun tailgating and attending the Skull Session. O-H-I-O!
Next we attend the UC game vs UConn. What an exciting game! It was a Saturday night game in November and we made it through the whole game in light sweatshirts - the weather was fantastic. UC squeeked out a win to continue their unbeaten record. We had a great time visiting with Alicia and her roommates.

Sandy's Recuperation

Here are a couple of pictures of Sandy reduperating at home after back Surgery. As you can see, Bandit and Chloe are quite happy to sit on her lap and keep her company. Momma is also quite happy to have her puppy visiting for the day.

Here are the flowers Sandy received from the Schreiners. They have brightened up the living room and given Bandit something to munch on...... She misses Will, Emma, and Jack and hopes to see them very soon!

Brittany turns 21!

Brittany turned 21 on Sept 23rd! We celebrated with dinner at Barrios in downtown Columbus. The food was excellent, and the White Sangria was even better! Here's a picture of the three girls in the open air restaurant.
Happy Birthday Britt, with all our Love!

Here is a few random pics from Europe!

Eric and Megan - Senior Prom

Eric and Megan ready for the Senior Prom.
Dinner was at Red Lobster and the prom
was held at the Seneca Hills Golf Course.
Aren't they a cute couple!

Chris & Sonya Moving Day

The girls all helping clean and organize Sonya's
new kitchen.


Chris, Ryan and Eric moving the goldfish in the
backyard grotto. Mom has the backup strainer
in case it is needed!


Max and Eddie playing tug-of-war with a piece of
straw in the backyard. They had a great time
at the new house.


Sonya looks a little nervous? But the whole moving crew
did a great job with getting all of the items inside before
the rain started and the tornado sirens blared. We did have
fun eating pizza in the basement during the storm.

Easter Family Picture

All of the family was home for Easter 2009. What
a wonderful time, and the weather was great too!


Mom and the puppies are all tuckered out
after a long Easter Day!

Alicia's New Look

Wow, just a little change for Alicia! I guess it was time
for her to change her look after 2+ years. She took the leap
and had 10+ inches chopped off and will be donating her
pony tail to Pantene Great Lengths for someone less
fortunate. You go girl!

San Francisco Trip

Well, Sharon and I made the big trip to SF to visit Alicia in early February. We had a wonderful time visiting with Alicia and seeing the sights of the city. We arrived on Thurs Feb 5th and returned on Wed the 11th. Alicia was a wonderful hostess who showed us some of the out-of-the-way places to see and enjoy. The time really flew and before we knew it we had to leave. I can't say I left my heart in San Francisco, but I did leave my little girl.....

I'm getting a complex, everyone wants to see more puppies!
Well here they are on Tuesday evening. They have been playing together
quite a bit lately, but they still sleep an awful lot.
The black puppy likes to bark once in a while and the brown puppy
like's to attack! (see picture #2).
The weather has been getting steadily worse. We had around 8" of snow
over the weekend with some blowing and drifting. It was a good time to
stay inside and put together jigsaw puzzles!
On Wednesday the temp is expected to dip below freezing with winds
around 30mph. It's going to be cold! I hope everyone else is keeping warm!

A little bit of tail biting going on!

Christmas Happenings

Hi Everyone, we hope you have had a wonderful Christmas season.
We had a great time with all of the kids making it home for the holiday.

Our family on Christmas 2008.

There has been a lot of excitement in the house with the arrival of our new puppies. Chloe delivered two male babies on 12/16/08. They are both growing like weeds. Each day you can see a difference!
