One commitment we made when we moved back to Chicago was to take advantage of the millions of activities that are part of the benefit of living near a big city.  It’s nice to talk about the world class museums and summer festivals, but unless you actually get out and go you might as well [...]

Yesterday in church Jacob and I really were not getting along.  He was whining, wiggling all around and just generally being disagreeable and difficult to deal with.  I tried being comforting and letting him sit on my lap.  I tried being stern and threatening to take him out to the hall.  Nothing was working.  Towards [...]

After my last post about resorting to Burger King for my children’s amusement I thought I would just post an update that we found something much better than a BK playland.  It turns out that Tegucigalpa has a world class children’s museum.  We’re talking 4 floors of pure educational fun.  Costumes, kid sized construction vehicles, [...]
