Hockey is back! Tonight was First Face-off. And the puck dropped on a new season of Cincinnati Cyclones hockey at US Bank Arena!



There was a little bit bigger crowd tonight than for the preseason game…





At the end of the second period, it was 2-0 ‘Clones…


The Cyclones newest mascot, Puckchop…




And the Cyclones would add three more in the third to win 5-1!



Annnnd… new for this season whenever the Cyclones score 5 goals in a game, everyone in attendance gets a FREE one-topping personal pizza from Donato’s. How awesome is that? More free pizza! I’m really happy that hockey is back in downtown Cincinnati!
Let’s go, ‘Clones!

After spending the afternoon at Blooms & Berries Farm Market, we stopped at The Works Brick Oven Pizzeria in Loveland for lunch…

We started with a half dozen chicken wings. Even though we just got them tossed in mild sauce, they still had a nice little zing to them…

And then we shared The Works’ signature pizza, The Commish…



Delicious stuff! I wish we lived closer to The Works because we’d be there all the time. 🙂

This afternoon our friends Cory & Amy had their twins, Audrey and James first birthday party at Blooms & Berries Farm Market out in Loveland…

















































What a fun way to spend an afternoon. Happy birthday, Audrey and James! 🙂

The downtown jewelry store where we got Genifer’s engagement ring, Richter & Phillips was having a 60% off sale this morning. Yesterday afternoon, we stopped in to look at wedding bands before the rush. Needless to say this morning, the place was packed…


This morning we got up and braved the crowds to get Genifer’s diamond infinity wedding band for a whopping 60% off…

You just can’t beat a deal like that. But we were really glad that we stopped in prior to the sale and had the ring we wanted on already on hold. It made everything so much easier. 🙂
