Thanksgiving

We are home from a whirlwind weekend to Ohio for Thanksgiving.  Scott's entire family was home, we haven't all been together for quite a while.  His brother Doug came in from Virginia and his sister Kathy was there as well.  The boys enjoyed playing lots of card games with their uncle and some football in the yard.  Grandma Shisler kept us all well fed with cookies, pie, ham loaf, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, her famous salad, her delicious homemade applesauce.  Yummy I am getting hungry just thinking about it.







Sadly Max was not feeling 100% much of our trip there.  He started with a fever on Wednesday, slept a lot on the airplanes and Thursday it seemed to get worse, by the middle of the night it was 103.  He was miserable so Friday morning we found an urgent care and got him checked out.  Strep throat.  Poor baby, his first real illness.  After 24 hours on meds he was much better.  Back to his busy little self.

Saturday Scott took Drew and Tommy to the Ohio State/Michigan game while we stayed back at the farm. They had a wonderful time and when I find the little camera I have some very cool pics to share.  A friend of ours in Des Moines, lined up a personal tour of the Woody Hayes Center with one of the Buckeye football coaches.  They were in the locker room, weight room, practice field, training facilities and offices.  They talked a MILE a MINUTE about it all night and day yesterday.  Pretty wonderful opportunity for them ALL.  All 3 of them were beyond excited.  :)
