Jonathan and his colleague Scott Jones organized the second biannual Medieval Faire at JBU, and once again the Faire was a big success, with booths featuring medieval fare (meat pasties, fruit custard pie), medieval hobbies (beekeeping, a scriptorium), weaponry (swords, axes, spears), jousting, and even a sock puppet play about Bishop Boniface. Logan and I enjoyed making the rounds of the booths, meeting students and other faculty, and listening to Logan's daddy recite the Waldere poem--an epic fragment--in Anglo-Saxon, to much applause. Everyone loved Logan's knight costume, made especially for him by his Grandma Jean Himes.

Too cool! We taped the news for you. It's not much, but it's something!! The costumes are awesome. Logan is so cute!! I love his dragon, sword & shield!! I guess he got tired from a day of jousting! He sure is blessed to have 3 costumes!! I haven't put Caroline's pictures on our blog yet. Keep checking in. Talk to you later!
Love, Lori
So thrilled the costume fit and got there in time for the Medieval Faire! He looks so happy in it! I guess he knew his Mama Jean made it for him with love in every stitch. Looking forward to holding him every minute of the Thanksgiving holiday!!! Love, Mama Jean
