Amber in the Windy City: June 2008
http://amberinthewindycity.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Amber in the Windy City. Monday, June 23, 2008. A Trip Back Home. For those of you who have moved away from home to a completely new place with brand new challenges you can appreciate how nice it is to make a trip back home soon after the move. Such an occasion arose a few weeks ago, for a Lucas-Kappel celebration. The occasion of course was to celebrate Matthew and his new wife, Sharon, who went and got hitched last fall, and with the size of our growing family you can bet there were more babies to meet!

Amber in the Windy City: Soap Box--Go literacy
http://amberinthewindycity.blogspot.com/2009/10/soap-box-go-literacy.html
Amber in the Windy City. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Soap Box- Go literacy. I wrote this essay on the idea of getting children to read. I thought the juxtaposition of these two articles is very interesting. I also found it interesting in the study how it points out that people do learn from different media such as TV, or gaming in this case, but then continues to emphasize the importance of reading because through print one is exposed to more vocabulary then spoken word. Or in more stark terms, you can ...

http://amberinthewindycity.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Amber in the Windy City. Saturday, September 27, 2008. In a way to postpone reading and writing that needs to be done I decided to resurrect the blog, and fill you all in what I have been up to since the last post. Some of you might have figured it out, I’ve been reading and going to class, and then whining/crying about the reading and the classes. So that has been my September but that is for another blog and another time, hopefully soon though! Here is a quick update and a few pics. Nora is the little ...

http://amberinthewindycity.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Amber in the Windy City. Monday, March 16, 2009. I finally made it out of NYC after a crazy night. And flew to Cincinnati for B's baby shower which was great and the start to a week of much belly touching (sorry B! And that cake, just so good. And if you don't believe me, just ask Max. Anthony thought "too many ladies, not enough cake.". And finally, after Brandy is exhausted from her trip to Boston and then to Cincy we finally make it to Chicago-the original destination with Mom in tow. Until next time,...

Amber in the Windy City. Friday, July 11, 2008. The Weather Channel.com Lies. You might be wondering, does Amber have friends in Chicago besides the cat and frequent visits from Jason? And the answer would be 'yes! We went to the famous Giordano's. So cheesy and so much sauce, of course it will never replace my beloved thin crust extra sauce. Pizza from Cincinnati's LaRosa's! Look at that sauce drenching the pizza. And the cheese spilling out. (Hungry yet? At O'Mally's with Jen, Kristen and Alexis. After...
