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

Well, we made it through yesterday. I didn’t cry once (I’d done enough of that on Monday). Tommy and I are both still alive. It feels weird to have a whole double bed to myself, even with a body pillow to keep me company… We made it to Bible study this morning and small group […]

Derek left…please pray for all four of us over the next 90 hours (not that anyone’s counting)…Tommy and I had an hour-long showdown over a cheerio yesterday, I slipped down the stairs last night and wrenched my hip again (as bad as back in Dec, and the next opening with my wonderful PT isn’t til March […]
My dear friend Ann Louise came up from St Louis for a short and sweet weekend visit–and we introduced Tommy to the joys of finger painting! (We also had great talks, took a walk in the sunshine, and watched Juno, which was excellent, but I didn’t have my camera around for those grown-up activities…)

Since Derek’s going to be gone for Tommy’s second birthday, we decided to give him his present early. We were going to get him a Brio train starter set since that’s what he really wants and no one else got it for him for Christmas, but we decided to hold that off as a big brother […]

So today my mom’s Bible study had a play date, and Tommy was the youngest one there by a good 6 months. We moms were talking away in the kitchen when suddenly we hear crying from the playroom in the basement…I looked around and realized that three of the kids were upstairs and the cry wasn’t Tommy’s, […]
This past weekend the Nielsens came into town to go see Wagner’s “Tristan and Isolde” with us! Derek and I had bad luck the one other time we saw an opera together, but this was as fun as four hours and fifty minutes of Wagner can be… =) (Though for the record, Wagner wasn’t as […]
