•   ~Fall Photos From Our Visit Home~

  Sorry, I haven’t blogged lately, we’re all not feeling well. Nicholas and Jonah both have strep throat- Nicholas for the second time in two weeks; I don’t have it,but my throat is really hurting and I can’t shake whatever I do have. We had a nice visit home- albeit brief; we did manage to squeeze in a lot in a few short days. I missed a chance to meet up with Tracy , though.  

  Twice a  year the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra offers a fall concert, for children, as part of the Lollipop series. This fall the concert was “Carnival of the Animals”  with a narration of the book of the same name, by John Lithgow.We went home for an anniversary party and I  was very pleased we were in town, to be able to take the kids to this concert- I LOVE the Lollipop concerts and conductor, Eric Dudley, he makes the concerts so much fun for the children. This year they had animals from the Cincinnati Zoo on stage.   My best friends and I all headed downtown with our children and  between us we have a ton of kids, we were even short a few  that day. The kids had fun; before the concert they were able to play some instruments in the foyer of Music hall , then they were offered a child friendly program with games and crayons. Following the concert they were given  kazoos and we bought them all  chocolate covered pretzel sticks, so a good time was had by all!

  The boys are VERY proud of themselves that they can climb this tree- it is about 80ft tall and they really got up there!
