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

When Laura told me she’d be meeting her sister and nephew in Santa Barbara to visit family this week, we immediately planned a zoo trip. Baby Enoch is just a month younger than Susie, and the kids had a great time playing with each other–and with Laura!

The other day, I realized that I had never given Elizabeth her birthday present from Uncle Matthew, who was way on top of the game and sent out both girls’ presents plenty early. I’d intended to wrap it, hide it from her in my closet, and then bring it to MO so she’d get to […]
See? I’m catching up on road trip pictures! So we may have taken the southern route home just to have dinner at Oregano’s in Flagstaff. (Oh yeah, and the girls’ tummies didn’t handle Nevada and Utah very well, either.)
Sometimes things are so cheesy that you just have to embrace the cheese. So when we were in Hillsdale last month, we did the liberty walk. I don’t care if the Civil War statue isn’t technically part of the liberty walk. How many hundreds of outings started by meeting at the Civil War statue? Honestly, […]

While at Hillsdale, we took advantage of the college bookstore to properly outfit everyone. The kids insisted that they all wanted to wear their Hillsdale shirts together!

Our last major stop on the roadtrip was in Denver (to see Uncle Matthew) and Colorado Springs (to see the Franciscos). Elizabeth and I got to attend Geneva’s ballet recital on Saturday, and Elizabeth is still talking about it nonstop, dancing around the house for hours with a picture of Geneva in hand for inspiration. […]

Now that so many of our Hillsdale friends are back working at the College, it’s a reunion every time we get back to campus. Last week, we got to stay with the Coles and Millers! It’s so fun to see our kids playing together now–a second generation of Hillsdale friendships! Eight Cole-Muller-Miller kids, in age […]
