We're home from Columbus and right back at the craziness that is work, ministry, family, and preschool. It was a good conference for Oddwalk. Lots of people are more aware than they ever thought they'd be of the keytar. We got the see the new CD, finally! We got to see, however briefly, ministry friends that we only get to visit with one or two times a year. We were very lucky to have Mom and Dad along to watch the kids, and we all had a good time.
The new CD!
GIA's booth.
The miniature "Santa Maria" was actually a backyard climbing play structure. They allowed people up on it to take pictures.

Noah gets a ride on Shannon's shoulders.
He's got a thing for people's mouths and teeth these days. It's kind of yucky.
Orin.
bSmallfish, our next-booth neighbors, had this inflatable rainbow unicorn that Madeleine *loved"*.
We couldn't eat dinner until after the exhibit hall closed at 7:30 pm, and the kids were usually done done done by the time the meal was over. Madeleine knelt on the floor and put her head down on the bench and fell asleep here at Gordon Biersch.
Orin and Noah.
This is a little grainy because I took it through our hotel window, but those long white things are all motorcoaches lined up outside the Nationwide Arena to take the participants back to their hotels after the evening session. They lined up for 3-4 blocks in each direction from the Arena.
Madeleine helped by handing out flyers and stickers. She loved it! She was great at it, too, actually chasing people down to give them stuff.
She got a lot of traders in return - beads, candy, flashlights, stuffed animlas, etc.
Noah, once again rockin' the keytar. Orin put it in his lap and then walked away, that's why my foot is in the picture, keeping it from falling to the floor.
Saturday was Keytar Appreciation Day.
The kids celebrated KAD in their own special ways.
The winner of the inflatable keytar, who also happens to be one of Shannon's teens.
Madeleine snapped a picture of Granpa at dinner.
Another picture of a sleepy kid at dinner.
...and he's out.
The girl was starting to get droopy, too.
Noah, having some naked butt time, crawled into the basket of th stroller.
