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

On our last night as a family in State College, we went out for ice cream and finally took a picture on the nittany lion statue. Can you tell how upset Elizabeth was about leaving?

It’s a tragic day–the kids and I are leaving our lovely little State College home for good. (Derek returns for a couple days next week to oversee the movers.) We had a sweet year here–very dear friends, Elizabeth’s first steps, Tommy’s first foray into homeschooling, and Susanna’s eventful pregnancy and safe arrival. We will miss […]

Last night, we had our last life group gathering–a picnic at Spring Creek Park. It’s funny how God works things out–we didn’t really know the rest of the group that well when we joined, but the Nerd Herd, as Casey called us, turned out to be the perfect group for us–all academics (or academic’s spouses) […]

We’ve been saying a lot of goodbyes this week. Sunday night was our last meal with the Hoskins. Sam and Jenny were our first friends in State College, and it’s thanks to Jenny that I got plugged into the women’s Bible study and our church so quickly. Jenny brought us meals as we moved in […]

One of the many great things about this house is our beautiful back yard. Yesterday Tommy had a boys-only playdate across the street at Zach’s, so when Elizabeth got up from her nap, we headed outside for a back yard photo shoot…

With the temperatures dropping this week, we’ve been getting out for nice, long bike rides. Tommy bikes, and I push the girls in the stroller. It works pretty well, especially since we discovered that it takes us less than half an hour to get to Tudek Park. Yesterday we met friends there for a play […]

We got back in town just in time for soccer practice tonight, and the girls and I got to watch and clap for Tommy!

I really couldn’t believe it when it started snowing again this week. While Thousand Oaks, CA was in the 80s yesterday, we bundled into the snowpants and snowboots for the last time (??) to sled and play in the snow here.
