Wednesday: Farm to Buckeyes

We spent this morning packing it up.  I was busy Washing sheets, cleaning up, Scott was busy helping finish up yard work, I made a ham loaf lunch....Scott's mom wasn't feeling well. His Dad needed help with some projects.  

After we loaded it up we sat down with gma and gpa. Earlier this week Scott had the boys write down 10 questions they each wanted to know about their grandparents. We sat down and the boys asked their questions. Scott video taped it. Questions ranged from their favorite foods to the day they met. It was a special time.  Fun to see his parents share and open up. Such a great idea. 

After that time we snapped this picture and headed out towards Columbus. A 2 hour drive. We drove by Scott's gparents farm on the way...he has so many memories there. We don't know who lives there now. 

Then a quick stop at Shisler's cheese and we were off...

Always fun to see your name...

Then once in Columbus with a quick stop at the Lego store and the Buckeye store...

We landed at the Townsley's house...our Columbus home away from home.  Mike and Scott were best friends at Ohio State.  John was our ring bearer and Jackie a flower girl.  Stuart was yet to be born when we were married. 

This is with John before all of the boys headed to watch Stu play Lacrosse.  Max and I stayed home. It's cold and rainy here. 

Tomorrow we will head home...it's been a really good trip to Ohio. My heart is more grateful than usual after being here.  I think I am appreciating the farm more, family more and the fact that we have so much to be thankful for. We aren't perfect and certainly don't come from perfect families but we are blessed. So blessed...
