Warsaw Adventures

I've vowed to clean under the couch for several months now. Corban gets very concerned for his lost items and is convinced they all escape to this dusty region of our house. Apparently, he was right. It took my Bible falling down there for me to...

I say if it's gonna be cold, I want it to snow. Hate to waste all those freezing temps on dead grass and naked trees. But snow--snow makes everything more beautiful. And this snow made our whole town a winter wonderland. Don't get me wrong;...

As we reflect on 2013, lots has changed! Jaeda learned to walk, run, talk, play, and fight with her brother. She's had her first encounters with discipline and is figuring out what is expected of her. Corban had many accidents (maybe that will never change??),...

  We've visited the beach a number of times these past couple weeks. There's one just a quick 1/2 mile bike ride away, and it's usually been just us! I read a bit about the technique behind building sand castles (don't be fooled into thinking just anyone can do...

It was Abby's turn to visit, so Ben brought her down. And then he received a call about an impromptu soccer tryout for Grace (yes, you're remembering right that he's already playing baseball!). So he stayed...
