We’re home from spending a week at the beach, and as we made the drive back to Tennessee that we’ve made so many times recently, my heart was aching for the parents and families of the 4th graders who were murdered just the day before.

My favorite house renovator, ex-realtor and current dad of the year has a birthday today.

Since the sun rises around 6 am here, we woke up extra early this morning, before anyone in the house.
