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

Kristen and I have made a pact to train for a 5K together this summer. Not sure if we’ll actually do the same race together since we do live several hours apart, but the goal will give us something to talk about besides kid poop and teething. Derek’s first response to this news was “You? […]
Addy and Gabe came over for one last play date today. The weather was so perfect for playing outside–playing tag, doing sidewalk chalk, and riding bikes. Here’s a sweet picture that Jen took of our crew. We are going to miss them!
We’ve started saying our goodbyes, and strangely enough, I’m feeling a little sad about leaving Chicago. Wow! What a difference a year makes. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very excited about getting out of big city traffic, being able to drive to someone’s house and (gasp!) just park out front (for free!) without circling for […]
At the church picnic today, Tommy and Gabrielle decided to beat the heat by lounging in the dirt of the baseball diamond. By the time we left, Tommy had been eating dirt, was orange from scalp to toes, and had to be stripped before getting in the car. Kids these days!

Yum! The birthday girl was […]
Yesterday Jenylah and Claire came over to play. It’s fun to have girlie play dates now!

We saw Blackstock, Reist, Somerville, Conner, Kalthoff, Moreno, Stewart, Smith, and Whalen (and Sandi, my boss in the development office all four years). And said […]
A play date with your best bud makes everything better.
Okay, I am slowly getting up pictures from the weekend! We’ve been socializing quite a bit of late, but dinner is in the crockpot and the bread is rising, so here goes… Sunday morning before church we did an Easter egg hunt in the front yard with Juliet. She actually got way more into it […]

This year we attended our fourth annual regency ball…with Eric and Carrie! I did Carrie’s hair…didn’t it turn out beautifully? I need to grow my hair out for about 5 years…sigh… And I got some pictures from above! To add to the fun, my student Olivia came with her sister, so we enjoyed some dances […]
