We are moving – again. This story is longer than I am going to write. (Aren’t they always?) But this is good news – awesome news. Wade interviewed with several companies over the last several months. He is really excited to be able to return to the world of tools and will be working for…

Teague is a very slow eater. He’s so slow that if we aren’t all sitting down for a “real” meal then he’s often left at the kitchen island by himself. (I think he prefers it this way. No one to rush him.) Today I went back in to check on him and found him literally…
