Irons in the fire...

I've been putting out feelers, trying to find community here in Chicago, as well as my place for service and work, and activities for the boys.

Wow. I guess I AM kind of doing a lot of things.

Uh, yeah. :) I'm exhausted just reading about it! I hope some of these groups work out well for you and your guys to continue with regularly.

Play It Again Sports is good for used skates. There's a location in Chicago, don't know if it's at all convenient to you: http://playitagainsportswrigleyville.com/

Yes, we got Clay and Linc rollerblades, and the bike trailer, from the Schaumberg store (it was close to Ikea, where we were headed for some house things). But I do head into town every now and again... might try that one. Thanks, Lisa! xoxo

I agree! That's a lot of stuff!

I haven't been getting your LJ updates! LJ and Bloglines don't get along, apparently. Glad you cross-posted it on FB.

It is good to hear about all of the things you are up to! It really sounds like you are diving into the community headfirst and I think that is awesome. I hope all of the various things pan out.

Miss you! I'm sorry I haven't gotten there to visit, this spring proved busier than expected between births and an early baseball season for A. I think we are going to have weekends free again in July or August. Argh. But L wants to visit a friend who is north of St. Louis so maybe we could venture on to Chicago after that... I'll try to be in touch!

You know the door is always open, to any combo of Smiths that wish to come visit!
