We left Thursday afternoon for a week-long trip to Chicago-LaPorte, IN-Louisville, including 3 bike races. Our car was in the shop, so we were lucky enough to be able to borrow Brian’s dad’s car, MUCH smaller than ours, but a great ride! In spite of no built-in DVD player (we had the portable one, though), […]

The start of this road trip has just been one bump-in-the-road after another. Believe me, no one is looking forward to 15 days traveling to Wisconsin/Minnesota to see friends and family than me. But it’s been hard to keep a good attitude about all the miles that lie in front of us with all the […]

DAILY LIFE Bicycling is a major form of transportation here in Nicaragua. And it is not just one person on a bike – you can see an entire family on a bike with the dad pedaling, the mom, sitting side saddle on the frame holding a toddler and then an older child sitting behind the […]

After the "wildness" of our Vacation Bible School week (which was really fun and fantastic!), we’ve wound things down this weekend. Brian had invited the cycling team over for dinner on Saturday, so we whipped the house into shape and cooked up a big pot of spaghetti and a side of italian bread salad (panzanella […]

Saturday is our 5th anniversary, and Sunday is Analise’s birthday (even though she’s celebrated several times already, and she thinks she’s already 4!). No big celebrations planned except that we’re off to Memphis… for a bike race 🙂 Actually, it was my idea. Brian wasn’t planning on racing, but we’ve wanted to make a family […]

Ok, it’s been nearly 2 weeks since we packed up the car and went somewhere, so of course, the travel bug has bitten us again. But seriously. We’re leaving tomorrow am for St. Louis, where Brian’s racing a BIG $$ race (the Tour de Winghaven) on Sunday. We’ve got a 4-star hotel right next to […]

Josiah and I are doing well on our own. I definitely missed spending Mother’s Day with Brian and Analise, though. Josiah did make my day so sweet by saying (with prompting), "Happy MoDay!" It’s so cute. I was surrounded by wonderful mothers – my mom, Grandma, and my dear Aunt Carol (my dad’s sister), which […]

Whew… how did it get to be Friday already?? Ag, there was so much I wanted to blog about, but I’m not even sure where to start! After a crazy busy week, Josiah and I flew out yesterday afternoon. A nasty line of thunderstorms and tornados had just blown through, but my flight was right […]

Last night was 2 nights in a row that Analise was awake throwing up. Fun times. A couple weeks ago when J had the stomach bug, then Analise had it, I mentioned that we’d been spared the chore of nighttime sickies. No more. I’m well versed in consoling the child while Brian cleans up the […]

I’ve been so busy catching up, I’ve not said anything about what my 2 little busy-bodies have been doing lately. It’s been a busy summer, and they’ve been a lot of fun. Josiah… Today was a little traumatic, as we had a minor surgical procedure to clip the skin under his tongue, because he’s been […]
