Getting Organized

Today I went to my second MOPS meeting (Mothers of Preschoolers).  It is every other Tuesday for 2 hours.  Luke sobbed when I left him in the "Moppets" daycare.  I had to let the teacher peel him off of me and run out the door before Luke saw me crying too.  But I LOVE the time with other wonderful moms who are giving up jobs, income, adult time, etc., to be home with their children - so much is gained.  And I am meeting new friends in Spicer!  Today we had a speaker who came to talk about Getting Organized.  This is my first takeaway - I'm going to start a blog.  I just can't keep up with writing in the two journals I have (one for Luke which I haven't written in since Ben was born, and one for Ben, which to be honest, hasn't even been purchased yet).  I am a fast typer, so this will save me time, and I can have a record of our lives and pictures to go with it - all which can be printed out someday and put in a book.  I still have to figure out how to add pictures....amongst other blogging tips and tricks.  But for now, here is to getting organized!

Milestones

All three of my little babes are meeting milestones like crazy this summer.  Let's start with the oldest of the crew - Mr. Luke Ervin: Milestones of note for LUKE : 1.

What a year....2020

 My posts these days are few and far between.  Maybe it's because life is busy.  Or because I'm working more.  Or because, as always, I find it hard to keep up with all the moments that I want to etch in my memory and so I get overwhelmed trying to document them here.  Or maybe, just maybe, it could have something to do with 2020 being an absolutely wild and unprecedented year!  Despite it all, we are thriving, still smiling, still laughing, still fighting (I guess a lack of fighting would be cause for concern among 3 kids, right?), and we are definitely still counting our blessings.  My friend Julie and I say multiple times a day "Jesus take the wheel."  :)   Spring 2020 quarantine couldn't have been more awesome.  The weather was gorgeous, the kids were thrilled to be home and playing outside, and we spent almost everyday clearing out our woods, burning (my favorite past time, as many people know), and golfing in our yard and at the course.  Ben spent hours on t
