Anniversary


On October 9th Jeff and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary! 2 years, wow we are blessed! Last year I found this really neat idea on Pinterest where you take a picture of you and your spouse every year on your anniversary holding a picture from the year before. Last year we had dinner at home, so last year's picture is us holding our wedding picture in the entry way of our house. This year we were able to go to Ruth Chris' Steakhouse. Our wonderful waiter took the picture for us. My plan is to do this every year. Then we will be able to look back at this picture and see every wedding anniversary like a window. 





The anniversary festivities continued at the State vs. Syracuse football game! Thank you special friends for thinking of us again this year! :)

It started off being kind of cloudy, but pretty good weather.


By half-time it was drizzling a little bit, but we were at a State game so it didn't bother us at all!


And yes, me being the nerd of this relationship, took a picture of the marching band!

I thought I took a picture of the actual football game, but nope...just the band!


We ended our weekend with a walk around Duke Gardens. We met some friends and got to participate in some fall festival activities that Duke Gardens had. 

All in all, we are very blessed and are looking forward to spending many more anniversaries together!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:

Katie

The last three weeks have been a bit of a whilrwind for my family. We found out that my sister, Katie, had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She went into the ER because she was having pains in her abdomen, and they found a football sized tumor. My sister is such a strong woman and was walking around the day after her surgery that removed the tumor! Katie decided to have some fun with her hair before her chemo treatments start. It's a good thing that we have a sister that is a hairdresser, she can do so many fun things to hair. This is what Katie looked like to start: Here is Lauren applying bleach to Katie's hair: Here is Katie as a blonde....I never thought I'd see one of my sisters EVER with blonde hair. I like the analogy she used...she said she looked like Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings. :) All the fun colors for Katie's hair: The final product: Please pray for Katie as she starts her first chemo treatment today! Love you sister w...
