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

There will likely be a lot of “last” posts in the next month. We loved hanging out with Peter and Cammy the past day and a half, though Elizabeth was under the impression that Peter was John. Or maybe she just thinks “John” is a generic term for any tall brother of Mommy’s. Peter was […]

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 […]

On the way home from the wedding last week, we knew it would be our last chance to visit Johnson’s Island before we move, so we stopped in Ohio overnight to introduce Great-Grandma Tony to her namesake. Cousin Kevin took Derek and the big kids for a ride on Lake Erie, and Grandma relished holding […]
A long time ago, I read on someone’s blog about this great idea of using a cookie sheet somehow for car trips. I don’t remember whose blog or how exactly it was used, but we came up with our own version for the Chicago trip. I’d “bought” Tommy a magnetic Tangoes Jr. game with diaper […]

I actually don’t have any pictures of the wedding (read on to see why), but here are the kids at the rehearsal. I didn’t know any of the groomsmen, so I didn’t worry about capturing them. =) And the rehearsal of the walk down the aisle. Oh, if only it had gone that way in […]

Before the wedding activities started, we headed out to Wheaton to see the Musicks and the Ritters. I finally got to meet baby Joseph!! Oh my goodness, he’s even cuter in person. Since he’s the closest thing to a nephew I’m going to have for quite a while, let me just do the doting aunt […]

On our way to Hannah’s wedding, we stopped to see friends in our old stomping grounds…with a slight hitch an hour into the drive when Elizabeth threw up her breakfast. No more feeding the kids breakfast on the road. Anyway… First stop, University Village at ND. Tommy and Edith at our BBQ with the Coles […]

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

Tommy’s hymn is “O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus,” which, by now, he’s heard hundreds of times. But his favorite hymn is Robert Lowry’s “Nothing but the Blood.” It may be because it was one of the easiest for him to learn because of the repetition, but he loves belting it out! What can […]
