Last weekend my parents came into town and we went to the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Faire. Ann and I had never been to one before, it was a lot of fun. We caught a jousting match. 

Ann and I in a medieval puzzler at the Ren Fest. The object was to get the ropes untangled. After about ten minutes, we cheated and took the ropes off, however, for $5, you could get the solution. 

Practicing my archery skills....just in case... 

Mom and dad outside of the Carnegie Library in Oakland. 

Mom and dad came to Pittsburgh last weekend and we had to take them out to Primanti Bros. which is a famous sandwich shop. They put fries and coleslaw on all of their sandwiches. 

My dad and I assembling Madeline's swing last weekend. 

Ann is just about 6 1/2 months now. She is still feeling pretty good and has put on 24 pounds. She will now have doctor appointments every two weeks until October. Then they will be every week until the birth. 

Meredith, Ann and Blair at the baby shower this past weekend in Bradford. Ann received lots of cute little pink clothes! 

During a game where everyone had to guess the circumference of Ann's waist, Blair cut her ribbon way too short (in her defense, she didn't know what the ribbon was for).
Debbie actually cut the ribbon right on!

Guess the baby food game. Meredith brought five baby foods for me to guess. I believe that jar 1 was 'sweet potato'. Yuck. 

The baby bottle game at the shower. First one to drain the 2 oz of water put in each bottle won. It's much harder to do than it looks. 

I went to Meredith's bridal shower in Bradford this past weekend. I'm so excited that she is getting married! 

Samira, Michele, Meredith, Rachelle and I at the shower. It was great to see everyone.

Auggie cooling off during the hike. I thought this was a good shot of Ann's belly too! 

Auggie on point during one of our hiking excursions last weekend. 

I got a chance to beat on some drums last weekend. I miss playing 'em.  

Here's a shot of our nephew, Ian, riding on horseback for the very first time. His mom, Karen, took the picture.
