Miller: osu homecoming

Walkaround
Friday, October 22

On Friday evening we headed to Stillwater for the Walkaround. Colby and I ordered the ErgoBaby carrier for the event so that we wouldn't have to carry Miller around. But, between my parents and Colby and I, we ended up carrying him all evening anyway. We tried the carrier while we were walking from our car to campus and Miller didn't seem to mind it. When we got to campus, we took him out to start taking pictures. Then, it was crowded and difficult to get him back into the carrier, so we just held him. We aren't really sure whether he likes the carrier or not. We will have to try it again in a less stressful and less busy environment.

Mackenzie's sorority house, Chio-Omega, did homecoming with Fiji this year. Their house decoration was AMAZING! We didn't get a good picture of it because it was already dark by the time we got to Stillwater. Chi-O and Fiji won the house decoration competition and sweepstakes. Yay! We are so proud! I know Mackenzie and all of her friends worked really hard pomping and preparing for homecoming! We didn't get to see their sign. The signs were on library lawn and we weren't able to walk all the way to the library. It was getting late and we knew that Miller would start getting fussy.

Tailgating
Saturday, October 23

On Saturday, we went back to Stillwater to tailgate for the OSU v Nebraska game. Brian and Krystle and Dustin and Melody were both having tailgates. The game was at 2:30 and we didn't get to Stillwater until about 12:30. Plus, as we were getting ready to walk to the tailgates, we realized that our stroller had a flat tire. So, after some debate, we decided to stop by the library and try to air up the tire. Thankfully, it worked and we were able to use the stroller. Dustin and Melody had tickets to the game, so we weren't able to spend as much time with them as we had hoped. However, we stayed during the game and tailgated with Brian and Krystle. We had a lot of fun and Miller did really well! He was able to nap a little bit in his stroller and everyone enjoyed getting to see him. There were two other couples there with babies about the same age as Miller (one was 3 ½ months old and the other 2 months old). In comparison, Miller seems really big and so alert!
