A Great November
We started November off with a couples cooking party. On the menu was stuffed peppers and Waldorf salad and for dessert chocolate covered marshmallows. I have been slacking at the pictures so only managed to get a few shots of our marshmallow creations.
Then my parents came to visit for five days. That was so much fun. We did a lot of firsts for Tuff and I including the Just Ducky Tours and eating at Deluca's in the Strip District and Fatheads Saloon in Southside. They drove the journey to Pittsburgh from Minnesota taking the northern route through Upper Peninsula Michigan and were stopped early by a massive blizzard. Then on their journey back to Minnesota they took the southern route and ran into tornados near Fort Wayne, Indiana!
Ohio River.

Duquesne Incline.
Great picture below of my parents on top of Mount Washinton. We learned on the Just Ducky Tours that Pittsburgh has over 400 bridges. You can see just a few in the left side of the photo.
Coming down the incline.
We also enjoyed two days of golf as Pittsburgh keeps its courses open year round. Again I slacked with taking pictures so no golf photos.
Finally to top off a great November we enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with some friends, hosted by the Wrights. The night was not without classic chaos. While basting the turkey a final time, the juices spilled all over the oven, causing the entire house to smoke. All at the same time the last of the guests were arriving to the scene. I can only imagine what they were thinking!
We still needed to use the oven so Matt and Tuff cleaned out all the juices so we could finish the cooking without the smoke. Haha.
In the end the feast was glorious.
Tuff's plate. He is all about presentation.
We are very thankful for all of you and your continued support. Until next time...

Happy Halloween
Careful, spooky Halloween day picture below!
Ok this one is a little more friendly. We're going on 20 weeks and managed to make it through this appointment without finding out the sex of the baby. I will admit it was hard to do.
On Saturday some of my girlfriends got together to carve pumpkins. I carved a candy corn theme in my pumpkin.
We also had a friend, Carolina, visit us over the weekend from Atlanta. She came last year as well. It was her birthday Friday so we went to one of our favorite restaurants on the South Side, Emiliano's and then walked over to The Milkshake Factory after.
For Halloween we had dinner with our friends, Joe and Sarah. Of course Tuff took the opportunity to be Jack Sparrow again.

No updates on the job front for Tuff. He is eligible to be picked up by an NFL team since he is not on contract with Canada. So we take it week to week. For now we are staying in Pittsburgh.
