Grandparental visit

This past weekend was a time of entertainment with family. Erik's parents came down from upper East Tennessee. We took Rigby to the Creative Discovery Museum where he proceeded to take the place by storm. We could have let him play there for six hours. We alter walked around the waterfront area, admiring the new river pier and the aquarium expansion. We also go to watch cranes place the steel beams in place for the new walking bridge to the Hunter Museum.

The next day, Rigby made his first trip to the Tennessee Aquarium. Oh, how Rigby enjoyed the fishes. He paced back and forth across the expansive tanks, yelling at his swimming friends. He had a grand ole time.

And we had a great time with grammy and g-daddy. It was good to have them in our home.

Cincinnati Trip

This past weekend found us in Cincinnati. Stacy's sister, Meghan, auditioned for her doctorate admissions in clarinet at the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. Stacy's parents also made the trip.

We had a great stay at the Marriott Kingsgate. We ate a huge dinner with good friends at Buca di Peppo on Friday evening.

We made the standard trips to Busken Bakery for the cookies, Xavier bookstore for Musketeers items and Skyline Chili for the deliciousness.

The trip home was really bad as it rained the entire way back. The fog was very bad at the Kentucky-Tennessee line.

However, another great trip to the 'Nati. We sure do love her.

Super Bowl

Well, it had to come sometime, and it happened at the fraternity house. Quite fitting.

Rigby and I went to the Sigma Chi house to hang out with the guys and watch the Super Bowl. We had our Terrell Owens Philadelphia Eagles jerseys on.

Rigby started the evening with a tasty apple oatmeal bar and a cup of apple juice.
He was having a blast throwing a ball all over the living room while we watched the Super Bowl. By the end of the second quarter, he got real tired and came to rest on my shoulder.

Just as the New England Patriots scored their second touchdown, Rigby threw up. I whisked him to the bathroom and he let loose twice more. He was scared more than anything.

So we got in the car and came home, but not before he threw up on himself in the car two more times. Our jerseys were ripe to say the least.

Once I got him in our house and cleaned him up, he went to sleep. He is fine, I guess he just got too excited.

Many of the brothers said when he is 17 years old, they would back me up when I tell him his first puking incident was in the fraternity house when he was 17 months old.
