On Halloween, we headed back to the 'Cuse to see old friends (and pick up the last of our belongings in storage in our friends' basement!) We spent Friday evening at Patty & Tim's house, where we hung out with them, Paige, Lynn, Maureen, Laura, and Austin.

On Saturday, we hung out over at Jason & Mandy's house for a bit to see them and the girls. Tayler is getting so big and we finally got to meet Mia! After that, we thought we'd hit up Clark's Ale House for some pre-game brews and their famous roast beef sandwiches - yum! We went down with Tim and Patty and Paige met us there, Craig met us there and Jim & Michelle met us there! It was fun to hang out for a bit with all of them.

After Clark's, Aaron, Tim, Craig and I *tried* to tailgate, but it was so cold, we ended up heading to the old Dome! We weren't sure how long we'd stay, since the Orangemen haven't been doing so well, or doing well at all. Surprisingly, it was a pretty good game against Louisville and Syracuse won 28-21. It was nice to be back in the dome for a win, but sad to see half of it empty. Now that they're again replacing the coach, we hope to see some good recruits come in and the team to become what it used to be.


Back home in the Dome!

Our Sunday mornings in Syracuse always consist of packing up to go and meeting the Patti's at Stella's Diner for brunch. This time, Tayler came along with Jason and Mandy (Mia stayed home with Grandma), and Craig came along even thought he hates breakfast foods. It was delicious as usual and always fun to spend some time withe the Patti's!!

Another good Syracuse weekend - we'll head back when their snow is gone ... maybe in May or June?!!
