Jay and Kristen also visited this weekend, so we finally got to meet each other’s kids! Sam is pretty much a heartbreaker. Don’t know how we managed not to get any pictures of adults, but here are the kids before bed. Too bad no one was looking at the camera…

Triple Date
Posted in Friends on Sep 19th, 2009
Mariel and her Derek came up from Bloomington to have a triple date with Hannah and Robert and us today!
My neighbor Katie and I have been working on getting a kid swap going so that we can each work out and do basic errands sans kiddos without paying the going rate of $12 an hour all the time! Today we switched off watching all the kids twice so that we could both go to the gym and […]
So far, today is going better, and I’m going to continue positive thinking by posting the pictures from our visit with my friend Ann Louise. She took MegaBus up from St Louis to visit us for the weekend! We took the kids to the park, talked a ton, and went to see “Julie and Julia” […]
So today I’m finally over my mastitis and can post a few pictures of our time in St Louis last weekend. Derek had a reunion with his judge and co-clerks, and we stayed with the Somervilles. Lizzie went to her first baseball game, she and Tripp got along swimmingly (to the delight of Emily and […]
Since Derek had a guest lecture at SSI in Michigan last night, the kids and I swung into South Bend for a 26 hour visit. It was SO wonderful to meet up with many of our dear friends there! We had lunch at the Chocolate Cafe with Leslie and Aidan and Josh and Rachelle. Tommy […]
Two trips to Ohio in one month! Now Tommy thinks we live there…somehow “Ohio” and “Chicago” sound the same to him… It was great to see Adrielle’s hometown and witness her and Nat uniting before God in the covenant of marriage. Unfortunately, Tommy was whispering during the whole ceremony, and I was too busy threatening […]
Leslie and Aidan visited yesterday and today so that we could go to the zoo together. The boys had a blast together (despite some issues with wanting to play with the same toys), and Leslie and I had plenty of good mommy talk… We are so glad they came! I know how hard it is […]
He gives grace
Posted in Friends on Jul 10th, 2009
I started today in tears, feeling frustrated, tired, and lonely. It’s been a roller coaster week for me emotionally–I’ve cried about something every day, and every little thing hurts my feelings these days. (NB: More than 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep would likely help this. In fact, a serious dearth of sleep is the biggest […]
We came home from Ohio by way of Royal Oak again because Lee and Kelly and the girls were in town with Lee’s parents! After watching each other on youtube for months, Tommy and Margaret were reunited! They got to meet each other’s little sisters…Margaret was very sweet to Lizzie…and I somehow managed not to […]
