I know I do. It’s here somewhere . . . probably under the piles of junk mail and catalogs. Or maybe stuffed in the back of my closet. I’ll just have to hunt it down. Yeah. So, Luke is gone. He’s a college guy, acting all collegy and everything. I’ve decided the best thing is
My brain is a mite bit foggy, so please don’t hold me accountable for whatever you find in this entry. (Unless it’s really good!) We pulled into our driveway around 2:30 AM this morning, having left Chicago yesterday morning. We didn’t get a super-early start, because we thought we’d take two days to come home.

It will be so great to see him and participate in his introduction to college life. Hopefully he has met some awesome people already. I’ll be back next week . . . probably Tuesday or so.

On Monday, we’ll drive to Wheaton and deposit Luke along with his suitcases, boxes, computer, guitar, and miscellaneous stuff we’ve been packing the last few days.

Jacob After fourteen hours of labor, the doctor’s expression showed concern. The fetal monitor indicated the baby was experiencing distress. Dr. Polk explained the situation to me and George, and a few minutes later an anesthesiologist was holding a mask to my face. Dr. Polk said, “See you in a few minutes.” I thought, “He’s
The Syzygy concert Friday was really great. A nice crowd showed up . . . maybe 25-30 people or more? I’m not good at guessing numbers. The coffee house has several rooms, and I only noticed the people that were in the area right around where the band set up. There may have been more
