Tommy at 8
Posted in Tommy on Feb 17th, 2015
It’s Tommy’s 8th birthday! He’s such a pleasant young man. He’s clearly inherited his parents’ bookish tendencies, reading anything and everything in sight. Usually when Derek starts to read something aloud to the kids, Tommy gets impatient and finishes it off on his own before the next evening. His most recent reads are the Great […]

Last Pictures of Missouri

I apparently forgot to take pictures most of our last week in Columbia. We managed a quick trip to the Magic House after Derek flew out, and John and Kathryn and Elsie met up with us in STL in passing. (St Louis friends–we weren’t there long enough to see any of you, but we’ll be […]
How could it not be happy with these smiling faces?

We finally made it down to Ann Arbor to check out Kelly and Kaitlyn’s restaurant! Everyone was a fan of the sliders, and KK and Andy make yummy milkshakes…
