We enjoyed a lovely visit from Ama during the first weekend in October. She showered us with her grace, generosity, and grandma-awesome-ness.
A pajama-clad eaw stayed up late to go retrieve her from the airport (I mean, one of his favorite people at one of his favorite destinations).
She accompanied mdw and eaw on Saturday morning to a “Mud and Muck” Toddler workshop at COSI.
The workshop consisted of stories and songs about mud and getting dirty, and provided hands-on (literally) engagement with all sorts of sticky, goo-ey, messy, slimy textures and materials.
eaw liked the “clean mud,” the flubber, and the cornstarch concoction the best. The adults seemed to enjoy getting messy more than the toddlers.
It was really fun.
Grandma stayed with eaw and mtw for the remainder of the day while mdw had a tech/dress rehearsal for a performance that evening called “60 x 60” which was 60 one-minute pieces of choreography to 60 one minute electronic music compositions.
Cool idea and very experimental. mdw was assigned to three different minutes and one of them involved 7 inch heels and a heavy down jacket.
Mom came to the later performance (which was held at a gay bar) – so needless to way, she was a great sport!
On Sunday, we went to Leeds Farm, a local farm that opens for weekends during the fall season only.
It is fantastic, goats, and donkeys, a huge sandbox full of feed corn, a banana boat ride, zip lines, jumpy pumpkin, large feed tubes, hay barn, homemade pie, and yes, a pumpkin patch.
It was so great that we returned the following week with colleagues from work.
So fun to celebrate Fall, and to start off our celebrations with a visit from Ama!
We love you.

Great picture of Hathawayas well. What a great October--probably an especially nice month in Columbus.
Love,
