Growing a Builder

On sunny Saturdays when Mike was growing up, his dad would sometimes pull out the woodworking equipment and set to work on some carpentry project or another. Mike still loves the sweet burnt smell of freshly cut wood and the loud whine of a circular saw. In the same spirit, Mike and Landon head up to the local Lowe's every so often for its Build and Grow construction series. This week, Landon built a Halloween-themed funhouse mirror while Hallie enjoyed a peaceful jaunt down to the farmers market.
