Noodles and Finals

Another stressful week for the kiddo as she wraps up her first semester at The Ohio State University. Wow--my girl is all grown up. Julia and Stephanie are so cute! Check out the TA's Christmas sweater. The gang went to Noodles and Company and spent a lot of time studying. Thankfully, she is over her cold, for the most part. Can't wait to see her tomorrow! xoxoxo

Blackwell Inn and OSU Victories

Since Thanksgiving, OSU has beat the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin--we're going to the Sugar Bowl (vs. Alabama). Very exciting. Steven wants to have a huge party for the Sugar Bowl. ;) Yes, we have drunk the Kool-Aid and are Buckeyes through and through. Julia returned to school and soon after was sick. She took care of herself..."Mom, I bought DayQuil and NyQuil, I'll be fine."

I sent her a rosemary plant with the stipulation that someone local take it home over the break to ensure its survival or she bring it home on the plane as a carry-on. Julia is going to ask Stephanie to take it. 

The kiddos went to The Blackwell Inn restaurant--fancy, fancy! Yay--they take meal blocks. They had a very nice meal.

Sweet Thanksgiving

Although I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be able to pull it off... thanks to Wagshal's, we had a pretty tasty bird and darn good shrimp. Best of all, Julia was home.

We ate, went to the movies, shopped, worked on a puzzle, cut down our Christmas tree, decorated the house, and ate some more. Meme brought over gorgeous flowers and helped one-handed. It was a nice holiday--so thankful for our wonderful family and time together.
