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

We spent our last night as St Louis residents hanging out with Seth and Leann. It’s appropriate, because we started this year with them, too. As soon as I found out we were moving to Missouri, I got so excited about living close to my childhood best friend! We stayed with the Carruthers when we […]
Well, for those of you who’ve wondered if I’d dropped off the face of the earth or just had become really rude because I haven’t answered your emails, letters, or phone calls, I can now reveal why! Yesterday we threw a big surprise party in honor of my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary (which is actually […]
So this is out of order with the previous posts, but Piko was with us all last weekend! He and Tommy had a grand time together… oh, and we liked having him around, too. We’ve got a guest room with your name on it in Chicago, Piko!
When the Talcotts visited last week on their way to western adventures, we beat the heat by taking the kiddos to Tilles Park. The fountains were a big hit for Carver, Ellie, and Tommy!

Tonight our kingdom group was transported back to 1959, where we reenacted the five year high school reunion of eight members of Roley High School. All friends of Rock N. Roley, a rock n roll legend, we arrived at Maltie’s Falcon Malt Shop and Cafe to discover that murder was afoot. While we ate Maltie Burgers, fries, and Falcon […]
My dear friend Katie Casey got to come spend the day with us last week! As she reminded me today, we’ve been friends since age 13–for half of our lives! I’ve loved the numerous visits from friends this summer, and Friday was no exception… hours of talking, many photo ops, lunch at Nadoz (I may be […]

Our home really is getting to be the place for drop-in visits while friends are traveling though St Louis. Today we were gifted with a couple hours with the Millers! Bethany and I finally met–(we’ve been acquainted virtually for some time, but we couldn’t go to Keith and Bethany’s wedding because Tommy had just been […]
Today Tommy attended his very first parade with pals Ty and Maia! We went down with our Kingdom Group to see the St Charles parade. It wasn’t as amazing as Columbia’s parades, but we had a blast! Highlights of the day included cute photo shoot attempts (attempt being the operative word when three active kiddos […]

“…though a very few hours spent in the hard labour of incessant talking will dispatch more subjects than can really be in common between any two rational creatures, yet with lovers it is different.” (Sense and Sensibility Vol. 3 Ch. XIII) Well, Clare and I hadn’t had quite as terrible a separation as Edward and […]

Today Emily and Janet and I went to Soulard Farmer’s Market to do our fresh produce shopping for the week! I’m not sure if it was the European atmosphere, the novelty, or just being with friends, but it was a blast! (And yes, apparently I didn’t get the memo about wearing pink.) I came home […]
