Emily has been growing so fast it is hard for me to keep up with her daily developments. To illustrate this, a brief story. Last week I was holding Emily and went to put something in the cupboard above the sink. A few minutes later I looked down and she was holding a container I…

Andrew’s Pretzels
Yesterday we set out to run a few errands. By late afternoon we found ourselves at the mall and bombarded with soft pretzels at every turn. We were starving at the end of our time there so we power walked out to the car to flee from temptation (because who really wants to spend $4…
Spring Break

We went to Triple XXX Family Restaurant, Indiana’s oldest drive in, to celebrate our decision and the warm weather. It is a little…
