Oct 19th - First Baby Party

We had a huge baby party in mid-late October!  We'd posted earlier when baby Brady met baby Eli (Katie's friend Rachel's son).  Well, on October 19th a few of Katie's friends from Columbus came up for a wedding, and we had a bring your own milk party at our house Friday night.  At 5:30 we had one baby in the house, but by 6:00 the numbers had quadrupled!

Eli is on the far left, and the other two are twins Elliot and Parker Anderson.  They're son/daughter of our friends Ashley and Craig.  Ashley was Katie's housemate from Miami, and we used to live next to them in Columbus and split Bengals' season tickets with them for a few years.  Elliot and Parker were born a week after Brady (Eli was about 6 weeks after that).

It's funny how things change - we used to be wondering what bar we'd go to with our friends on a Friday night.  This Friday night we just ordered pizza from Giordano's and hung out at our place watching our kids squirm around!  It was fun, though - it will be neat to watch all these guys as they grow up!

We got a picture of the dads with the kids as well.

Our friends Sarah and John were also up for the same wedding, and they stopped by earlier in the afternoon.

We also hung out with them on Saturday at a bar/restaurant called Crossing.  We saw Ohio State come back from what seemed like a sure loss to Purdue.  Brady seemed very interested in the guys next to us who ordered a "fish bowl" (a shared drink with a lot of liquor in a bowl).  Hmmm... at that point it was time to take the baby home.  Charlie stayed a little while longer with some other friends and watched Michigan knock off Michigan State for the first time in four years!

All in all, it was great to see so many of our friends in one weekend!
