Rustic and Modern
Remember that Simple With A Hearty Side Of Significant post I published last month? If so, you probably remember that cute little boy that found the notepad I hid over by the gazebo. His name is Mikey, and Kevin and … Continue reading
FELLOWship
Can you see them out there? It’s Kevin and our friend (and avid fisherman), Tommy. Apparently misty mornings like the one we had today make for the best fishing, so Kev bundled up and met him by the dock as … Continue reading
Adoption Physicals

Wood Chandelier
