I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Last night, we had our last life group gathering–a picnic at Spring Creek Park. It’s funny how God works things out–we didn’t really know the rest of the group that well when we joined, but the Nerd Herd, as Casey called us, turned out to be the perfect group for us–all academics (or academic’s spouses) […]

We’ve been saying a lot of goodbyes this week. Sunday night was our last meal with the Hoskins. Sam and Jenny were our first friends in State College, and it’s thanks to Jenny that I got plugged into the women’s Bible study and our church so quickly. Jenny brought us meals as we moved in […]

The kids and I are in serious Laura withdrawal this afternoon after a lovely 5 day visit full of reading, playing, talking (we never run out of things to discuss!), and even a trip to the swimming pool. As soon as we dropped her off at the airport, Tommy turned and said, “Lizzie, don’t you […]

With Derek out of town for three days at a conference, I was even more glad than usual to have Margee come up for a weekend visit! I didn’t get a picture of us together when she was up this winter or while we were both at Hannah and Robert’s wedding, so here’s proof that […]
This morning we dedicated Susanna to the Lord at State College Evangelical Free Church. At our request, “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” was part of the worship service. The kids did moderately well up front, though Susanna did cry the whole time Pastor Keith was holding her and praying for her! After church, […]

With the temperatures dropping this week, we’ve been getting out for nice, long bike rides. Tommy bikes, and I push the girls in the stroller. It works pretty well, especially since we discovered that it takes us less than half an hour to get to Tudek Park. Yesterday we met friends there for a play […]

I actually don’t have any pictures of the wedding (read on to see why), but here are the kids at the rehearsal. I didn’t know any of the groomsmen, so I didn’t worry about capturing them. =) And the rehearsal of the walk down the aisle. Oh, if only it had gone that way in […]

Before the wedding activities started, we headed out to Wheaton to see the Musicks and the Ritters. I finally got to meet baby Joseph!! Oh my goodness, he’s even cuter in person. Since he’s the closest thing to a nephew I’m going to have for quite a while, let me just do the doting aunt […]

On our way to Hannah’s wedding, we stopped to see friends in our old stomping grounds…with a slight hitch an hour into the drive when Elizabeth threw up her breakfast. No more feeding the kids breakfast on the road. Anyway… First stop, University Village at ND. Tommy and Edith at our BBQ with the Coles […]
