THE SMITH FAMILY

Tyler, Jadie, Baylee, and Weston have called Northwest Arkansas home for just about a year, and this season finds them beginning to put down deeper roots. This week, they made an offer on a home of their own and are waiting through the appraisal and paperwork, hopeful that the next chapter will soon become official. For Baylee, this fall brings the beginning of high school and a place on the varsity softball team. And Weston, at four years old, is thoroughly enjoying the freedom of childhood—especially when it involves climbing into his motorized car and driving up and down the street every chance he gets. A new home, a new school, a little boy growing up, and a family settling into a place they are beginning to call their own. These are the days worth remembering.
