Winona Lake Adventures

We didn't expect to love the house as much as we did. We didn't expect it to scream our names in its design as loudly as it did. We didn't expect that meeting the home owners themselves could be so enjoyable. And we certainly didn't expect that Corban...

This year's Art Gala was held in support of Jared & Megan Hood, going to Tanzania, Africa and Jordan & Tirza Cone, going to Cameroon, Africa. Carrie and I set up art stations to corral the kids while their parents bid on art. Enter the chaos: Do you feel stressed? Almost 50 kids! There...

We had a nice blustery day this past weekend. So James pulled out his most beloved kite and shared one of his favorite pastimes with his son. Corban loved it! He didn't even know that the wind wasn't completely cooperative. (I'm sure Murphy was involved in some capacity. Ugh.) ...

We've had lots of crying the past few days. Those beautiful pearly whites bursting through gums are to blame. So I decided we needed something fun, something new, something...

Corban's friend Luke has just discovered his tongue, which has made Corban rediscover his! Hey, Mom! Oh, hi again! Corban's take on the Michael Jordan dunk, smile-style. Two-handed hi! Waving to the cars. Every.single.one. Mom and son. Towering Corban wave. Dad and son. Heeeeeey! Cool beans. ...
