Yesterday we went to the Monet exhibit in Columbus and I saw this interesting grouping of signs. :)

Breakfast this morning with our college girl. :) I have more photos to upload but no time. Just wanted to share this one. It captured the essence of the trip. Miss her already again.

Marching Band State Finals

Marching Band State Finals, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

Saturday night, we all attended Jacob's final competition show performance in Columbus Ohio. The State Finals resulted in the highest rating the band could achieve. Freezing cold weather and one kid who literally passed out with an asthma attack (a different band right before our school) and his fellow bandmates marched backward right over his body and six of them tumbled on top of him. It was horrible.

Lakota went right after that scary drama and yet still performed beautifully even after standing in the cold an additional twenty minutes. The asthmatic boy will be fine, they told us. It was scary.

The cross-town rivalry game between our Lakota East and Lakota West happened Friday night. They had three sky-divers fly into the stadium! West (our school) won 28-14.

I have not had the camera for the last two days (Jon needed it for a project) so I'm pulling out this funny photo from Sunday. Yes, that is a tiger tail. Bengals fans are nothing if not tacky. Though green hair for the Jets fan ranks a close second. :)

I have lots of photos from yesterday's trip to the Bengals game (which we won, which was our 23rd anniversary celebration - anniversary will be the 27th). But I love this one. I love the angles. Here's one other "angle-y" photo at Paul Brown stadium too.

Fall in West Chester

Which was exceptionally dry and therefore the leaves are not as colorful and all have that crisp crackly edge to them.

Jacob is baking cookies for his business before leaving for the show. :)

And then the concert:


Jacob is first chair saxophone (began last year as last chair, so he's really improved). What a night! We heard the four high school bands, each increasingly talented. I'm so impressed with our school program. It's a joy to be a part.
