Lewis tried to describe what Christmas, in the true sense, would look like to an outsider and how it would differ from the commercial version of Christmas we get so easily entangled in.

Come what may and love it! Thursday, August 13, 2015. The traveling basketball league did a B team this year, and it was so perfect for us. No tryouts, no Sunday games, and we loved the team and coaches. It was so unpolitical! The team at their last practice. Daniel and his best friend, Garrett. They decided a player pyramid was in order. And then decided to get the whole team involved. Poor Garrett! His knees took quite a beating! Player vs parent game.

Sunday, February 7, 2010. Cory, the boys, and myself were sick all last week. We totally hunkered down and detoxed ourselves. Dallas is getting to be such a BIG boy.
