Making the Grate

It was exactly 8 years ago this August that Erin bought me a charcoal grill for my 27th birthday.

A Good Habit

One of Weston’s favorite things to do is to climb up in his rocking chair in his room, put his blanket over his legs, and read a book. He learned this from Mommy and Daddy, who also like to relax with a good book every now and again. I was able to snap [...]

Cop Complaint
