Well, it was our last fun weekend out…now that I’m 35 weeks, my doctor wants me to stay put in Chicago! On Saturday morning, we drove up to Michigan. Two of my delightful students from my Jane Austen class were in a production of “The Sound of Music” in Charlotte, MI. We arrived just in […]

Tommy and I are in Detroit for the week. After the emotional turmoil of the weekend, I decided not to worry about bringing the potty chair here. So I’m pretty sure we’ll be back to square one with potty training when we get home this weekend. We tried to put Tommy in the big boy […]
Just like we promised, Daddy came home from work in an airplane today! (For two and a half days–yay!) It was a good thing, too–when I went in to get him up from his nap, Tommy had taken his socks, pants, and diaper off and was in desperate need of clean sheets and a bath. Good […]
Well, it took us 8.5 hours instead of 7, but we’re back in our house in Chicago. The past two days were so full of fun Columbia time that I didn’t really get online much, but here’s what Tommy spent hours every day doing, with Ba-Pa, Ga-Ma, or “Untle” Peter…going “beep beep” in Ba-Pa’s “Tar”:
Yesterday afternoon Katie got to come over and help my mom and I shop for fabric for the mother-of-the-groom dress, then I headed over to Shepherdsfield for a girls’ night with some of my girlfriends there. Katie and I took our traditional picture (we have Em-and-Katie shots going back 15 years…), and I got a […]
Sunday found us enjoying the familiarity of E Free, the comfort of Grandma and Grandpa’s house, and some quality time with Peter and Cammy (who are going to register this week if I have to drag them through the housewares section of Macys myself!). My big treat was an afternoon concert–The Academy of St Martin […]
Back in STL
Posted in Family on Feb 21st, 2009
Well yesterday I WAS going to blog today about another reason to hate Chicago (a $120 ticket for parking our own properly-licensed car in front of our own house). But my brief time in St Louis was so wonderful that I’m going to talk about that instead! Tommy and I rolled over the bridge and […]
Well, I’m a week away from a rather lengthy sojourn for work. When I started in September and accepted this project, we both knew that it was going to trial in February in Missoula, Montana. Yikes. I’ll be having a fair number of ORD-DEN-MSO flights over the next several weeks. I’ve prepared to travel from […]
Well, I was meaning to do this as soon as we got back, but…here’s a brief recap of our break! We left Christmas Eve morning for Missouri…5 stops and 7 hours later, we got there in time to light the advent candle as a family at the Christmas Eve service. Derek and Tommy got lots […]
