Today I got a gift in the mail from Megan-a bunch of pictures she took during our wedding! Thanks Megan! I'm so glad I have these!

CAVALIERS vs JAZZ

Now official Ohioans, we decided to show some Ohio pride and go to a Cleveland Cavaliers game. Last night after work, we jumped in the car and made the 2 hour drive up to Cleveland ....they just happened to be playing the Utah Jazz!!!!

We made it just in time, had amazing seats, and had a perfect view of Lebron James! Yay!

Even Michael Symon and Bobby Flay showed up for the big night

Unfortunately Shaq didn't play...Elizabeth was very disappointed. (he's the one in the dark suit)

There was A LOT of OSU cheering throughout the entire game!

Even though the Jazz were behind pretty much the entire game, the last 5 minutes proved to be quite exciting as you can see....

Things Daniel Likes....

Frosting....
Daniel had the day off today....Elizabeth walked in on him doing this

Our BR Wishlist

Spurred by the UNBELIEVABLE new stuff for holiday at Banana Republic, we decided to each go through our closet and make a pile of clothes we never wear, that are still in good condition. We are hoping to find a place that we can sell these items-in exchange we hope to take our earnings to BR and get some new goods!

A Wedding & Some Birthday Boys

This weekend we visited Indiana for Daniel and Jessica's wedding. Fall was in full swing and the drive was beautiful.

And of course what's a wedding without the Pappas musicians! Thomas and Daniel looked great in their brown groomsmen suits

Daniel and Jessica's wedding was beautiful, yet somehow this is the only picture we took

After the wedding we went to the Varners' and gave the boys their belated birthday gifts. We think they liked them...

Tonight we celebrated another birthday-Happy 3 Nicholas!
Nicholas received several fun gifts...including 3 monster trucks

The Monster Truck birthday cake

Daniel's New Baby

A few weeks ago Daniel found himself greatly disappointed to find that all of his USB ports on his computer were no longer working. After taking it to 'The Laptop Guy' (Daniel does not have his own personal laptop guy-this is just the name of the place he took it to) he was told that we would have to spend a lofty $500 to replace the motherboard...

In an effort to SAVE MONEY, Daniel decided to cover the cost of the motherboard and his need for "better stuff" by "investing" in a NEW laptop for just over DOUBLE the cost of a motherboard....
anyone looking to buy a computer without working USB ports????????

It's OFFICIAL!

Today Elizabeth got a special gift in the mail! Her official degree! Yay! That's right folks, Elizabeth is officially a college graduate!

Tea Party

Today we attended Clara's 6th birthday party! It was a fancy English Tea Party! We had such a fun time playing games and making hats and bracelets! Happy Birthday Clara!


Daniel was the Butler....he did a great job!

It's the WEEKEND!

While Daniel was at work on Friday, Elizabeth had a big project to tackle....OUR CLOSET! It required taking every article of clothing out of big black garbage bags, ironing, hanging, and organizing them all. Anyway it took pretty much all day. She discovered that Daniel has about
2 1/2 times more clothes than she does...

Since our last PANINI PARTY was such a hit/success, we decided to have another one the very next day....this night it was QUESADILLAS

Friday night we went through a bunch of old VHS tapes Daniel had unpacked...We found some old recordings of Daniels Good Old Days at GRACE....He was mortified by what he saw...

Daniel's Senior Recital 2003

And his orchestration class 2001 (notice that this picture and the following were the same class, same semester, two different hair styles/colors)

We also took a trip to World Market and found a great deal on a dining room table....all we need now is some guests to use it...

Today we met up with Christopher, Kristie, Daniel, and Jessica at the Outlets. Afterwards we used our pizza stone to make a walnut pizza

UPDATES

Here is Daniel's new OFFICE (hopefully where he will be completing his dissertation...) The second bedroom has transformed into a nice, relaxing, organized space to get his work done. The opposite wall will soon become Elizabeth's office area.

...and here is our 'kitchen expansion.' Due to the very limited counter space, we found this kitchen cart which also gives us plenty more cabinet space.

PS...Elizabeth got a job!!!
