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

Due to some recently-publicized security issues with WordPress, I upgraded our old WordPress files to the latest edition. Unfortunately, that means there are a series of blog changes that look to be largely internal but may cause Em a little chaos in the weeks ahead trying to adjust to the new system. But the blog […]

This morning I had to go to the post office to mail some CDs for Derek’s parents who are taking a long car trip this weekend. They need them by Wed pm. Should be a fairly simple task, right? Not when the US government gets involved. First of all, I’m fighting a terrible head cold […]

I’ve come down with mastitis and feel pretty awful. Please pray that Lizzie nurses well and that Tommy behaves while I’m stuck in bed!

I make no secret about my quiet obsession with the dollar coin. (It’s the 21st century; the dollar bill was first introduced in 1862. Really, inflation makes the dollar appropriate for a coin.) I wasn’t around when silver dollars were circulated (the last iteration being in the 70s, although my grandpa saved a few of […]

So Hillsdalians will be the only ones who find this funny… This morning I got a call from the Hillsdale area code…I answered, and the voice on the other end asked if it was Emily and if I was still in bed. Nope…what mother of a toddler hasn’t been up for hours at 9 am? […]

Well, I got the bad news today…our hard drive is so damaged that it would be thousands to pay technicians to try to recover data, and they can’t even guarantee that they could get anything, let alone everything. Eight days and counting without our hard drive, I’m seriously bummed. I keep thinking of something I […]

Well, just hours after Derek left for Montana Sun morning, I returned from church to find an error message on the computer. After trying to get ahold of Derek and spending an hour of tech support with a nice Indian man for Dell, I accepted that our hard drive is, indeed fried. The good news–it […]
Last night we went to the Caris annual banquet with 1000 others who care about women facing unexpected pregnancies here in Chicago. I had a long post all ready about how great Caris is, but my internet suddenly restarted before I could save it. (I think it had to do with a little dude playing […]

We’re here! After a relatively uneventful week of moving, we’re in our new home, unpacking and figuring our way around town. Tommy likes the new house okay, but he’s still getting used to his huge new room. We’ve already met more neighbors here than we ever knew in Brentwood–they’ve been coming over to introduce themselves. […]

Well, I’ve been switching between the NBC and CBC Olympic coverage these last couple of days, and I have to say that I’m not as wowed by Canadian tv as everyone had said I would be…. Derek’s big complaint about NBC coverage is that they highlight gymnastics and swimming and Americans in medal contention. I’m […]
