Warsaw Adventures

Three weeks ago, we were in a parking lot when suddenly Corban cried out, "I see a plane!" Sure enough, there was a billboard advertising the upcoming airshow. We marked it on our calendars and counted it day by day by day by day by...

This bunch has tried to swim, oh, every other week or so. But by evening, it's been too cold, too rainy, or our schedules have clashed. A couple weeks ago, the afternoon was gorgeous, perfect swimming weather. So we made plans for swimming. And by...

We live two doors down from two of the sweetest girls. They have played hours and hours with our kids, riding/running/biking/scootering up and down our sidewalks, giving them our own local Aunt Hoopie and Aunt Abby (don't worry, Aunts; you haven't really been replaced). I've...

Once upon a time, a man and a woman had a baby boy, making them parents for the first time. The everyday demands of their lives did not change, and he quickly came alone with them on errands such as grocery shopping. As the boy...

The snow lasted something like a hundred days this winter. I've always said if it's gonna be cold, let there be snow, but shew, the length of this winter really tested that statement! We love walking through the quiet lanes in the cemetery a few blocks down. Even in...
