Week 2 of this multiweek project. After a slow start with a myriad of problems the prior week I started making decent progress this weekend. It was a beautiful weekend to be in the woods. I dropped the largest tree I’ve ever cut down (a cedar tree). It even went the direction I wanted it …

We started off our Spring Break going west. Our first stop was north of Memphis at Meeman Shelby Forest State Park. We explored the park on our bikes and had so much fun that we changed our entire plan to spend more time in (and around) this park and in Millington. It was the perfect …

Small town Christmas parade brought Emily to tears. My first time ice skating in many, many years. Emmaline won minigolf…wat?!?! Zach is a real man wit dat extra hot chicken! Gran’s family tree. Max’s birthday. Cheekwood Christmas Lights. …and WAY too many presents!
