It's Saturday morning and I am sitting in the hotel in Paducah, KY. We flew in yesterday to Nashville and toured around a little before driving 2 hours to our wedding destination. Today Amy and Josh will be married here in Paducah. Of course, no one in Columbus is getting married today. I don't think anyone would show up. We are hoping to at least watch part of the game today on our little 2 inch tv. We have a small break between 4 and 6 so maybe we will get to see some it. The weather is going to be beautiful today, 55. It was so weird this morning to be able to sleep in without the kids waking us up. Yaya and papa have the kids for 3 nights!! I hope they will survive.

I took Isaac to the doctor on Thursday for his 6 month checkup and also wanted them to check his cold again. He has had it off and on for 2 months. I took him in a few weeks previous and it was just a cold. Now it has turned into an ear infection and sinus infection. Poor little guy! So yaya and papa have a sick boy at home. Although it is fun to be away and quite relaxing, we do miss them!

Tomorrow morning we head back home. Our flight leaves at 9:30 and it is a quick flight, 1 hour 15 minutes. I will write more about the wedding when we get home.

Today was one of those days where I put the work aside and spent time with my friend, Carla, and my sister Sara. We broke out the aprons and did some baking for Thanksgiving. We started this morning at 10:00am and I am still baking some cookies at 8:30pm. We started off this morning making pumpkin logs. They are awesome but quite involved. First you make the cakes and them roll them up and let them cool. Once they are totally cooled you unroll them and fill them with yummy cream cheese filling. That is the best part. I would double up on that part if I could. We made 9 pumpkin logs today.

After that we figured while we were at it, we would make chocolate whoopie pies. Now these are the best. We quadrupled the recipe and I will probably be baking them until 11:00 tonight. After they cool, we will fill them with a yummy filling too. We will freeze everything and then break it out on Thanksgiving. My next baking will come when I host the 2nd annual cookie exchange. I will tell you more about that later. For now, it's back to baking. Thanks Carla and Sara for making it a great day!
