Apple Orchard 2013

Untitled
Yesterday was our annual trip to the apple orchard, and this year Lincoln brought a new friend from school, Samuel.  It's funny to watch two Kindergartener boys be silly in the car and run around crazy.  This was also the first year in a while that I didn't need a pack for one of the kids.

To say that we ate well with some good, apple-themed courses yesterday would be an understatement.  It started at the orchard where each kid ate two apples off the tree and chased them with a donut.

I've never gotten in the habit of mentioning each Ohio State win (that would get redundant, especially in the Urban Meyer era), but last night's win over Northwestern, where the Buckeyes spun their wheels most of the evening, will be most memorable for me in the way they covered the spread by scoring a crazy touchdown when the clock had run out.  I'll take 'em any way the Buckeyes can get 'em.

The government shutdown, you know, the situation in which we find ourselves because, among many reasons, the Senate wouldn't agree to live under the same Obamacare law that we all are going to have to live under... well, the government shutdown is threatening to affect Jenn and Grandpa Dave's upcoming half-marathon, as it is to be run on the Towpath through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  Grrrrrrrrr.  I'm not enamored with much of Washington these days on either side, but the excuse we have for a leader in the White House can't be gone soon enough.

HI! I am not sure how I found your blog, but I am adopting a little girl from the same orphanage as your son. She is two and so while they were there at the same time I doubt they played with each other since she is much younger than your son. How were you able to see his nannie. Was this organized by the agency? I think they stil have a policy of no visitors. Oh, and by the way you have a beautiful family.
