When we were at the Apple store in Louisville, I asked the employee who was helping us if she had any suggestions for pizza from a local place. She had a few suggestions and one of them was on our way back to the highway. Wick’s Pizza was awesome! Walker ordered Fettuccini Alwicko and Mason […]
It’s mind boggling to see this boy of ours is now 14! He’s grown up so tall and by tall, I mean 5’11 1/8” at the doctor last week. He looks a little sleepy here at breakfast this morning but slow mornings are part and parcel of adolescence now. Right after school we headed to […]

His first job was to trace where the arm placement meets the legs. Bill also explained how pieces lined up. My favorite part was seeing Walker gently guide Mason’s hands with the drill. Thanks, […]
