Lots of goings-on in the Rice family recently, here are a few pictures from the past month or so.
First off, of course, are pictures from the Wedding of the Century. Clicking on the picture below will take you to our set of wedding pictures:
A couple favorites from the wedding (these are also in the set above)
We also had some fun trips over the holiday season. Here are a couple pictures of Corinne and Mason helping Papa Tom fill the bird feeder.
We also have a few more to come.
We hope everyone had a great Halloween! Snow White and Superman had a great time, with a trip to the Pumpkin patch, a church Halloween party and Trick or Treating! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:

Some conversations we’ve had with Corinne over the past few weeks:
Setting: In the car with dad, listening to “This Ol’ Man”
Corinne: I’m a woman, daddy.
Dad: No, Corinne, you’re still a little girl.
Corinne: No, daddy, I’m a big girl. I’m a woman.
Dad: Yes, you are a big girl, but you’re still not old enough to be called a woman.
Corinne (very emphatically): Daddy, I’m three and half years old! I am a woman and a big sister!
Dad: …
(You can’t win an argument with a woman. I’ve tried)
Setting: In the car with Mom and Grandma Ann, just passed a pond with a fountain in the middle.
Corinne: Look, it’s the ocean!
Mom: Well, the ocean is really big and that’s just a small pond or a lake.
Corinne: Oh, that’s right, the ocean is at the beach.
Setting: In the car with Mom and Dad, going over the bridge that crosses the Scioto River
Corinne: I want to see the sea
Dad: Well, that’s a river, not the sea
Corinne: Oh, that’s right. The sea is in Australia
I could fill up pages with the funny things she comes up with. These are but a few…
Update (10/19) – I had to update this post with something Corinne said yesterday. After dinner, we were eating some Halloween cookies that Corinne and Greta made for dessert. Corinne had already eaten three or four when she asked for another. Greta said, “Let’s wait a few minutes, in case your belly tells your brain that you’re full.” Corinne didn’t miss a beat. She looked down at her stomach and said:
“Belly! You’re not full, okay!?”
Then she asked for another cookie.
Yes, our little man is now 18 months old! He’s dwarfing that little monkey now (click the picture to see the rest of his Monkey pictures):
Some other pictures:
Corinne and Mason take it out on the Sponge Bob Squarepants pinata at the American Masonry Company Picnic:
A lot of fun was had at this year’s Apple Festival. Along with the annual parade, Corinne and Grandma Ann entered a cake into the Apple Festival Bake-off. It came in second place!
We celebrated Greta’s Birthday with a delicious DQ cake
Everyone in this house is a Buckeye fan!
It’s been quite a while since we’ve had an update, so here’s our Summer 2006 update:
We are having a great summer! The kids are doing lots of fun things: taking care of the garden, playing in the sprinkler, and having a good time with friends/family. The highlight would have to be our trips to the Ohio State Fair. Corinne really loved the rides this year. Mason mostly threw sawdust at the animals, but he made sure to get his share of the milkshake from the dairy barn! The kids have had special trips to both grandparents’ homes without Mom or Dad. Everyone had a good time (despite the early wake up calls by the kids). We also went to Geauga Lake with Papa Bill and Grandma Ann. Abuelita and Papa Tom came later to see the kids play in the water. It was a good time for all!
Here are some pictures of our good times. Click on the picture and it will take you to Flickr to show the whole set of pictures.
If anyone was wondering what Tony’s favorite thing from the State fair, it would easily be “Chicken-on-a-stick”!
