Where's Ben?

Ben is almost 5 months old and has been able to roll from his back to his tummy for over a month.  But just in the past week or so he has started rolling from tummy to back as well.  So he is no longer stuck when he's on his tummy.  He can roll and roll and roll.  Today he was on his tummy in the middle of his bedroom and I went out to the kitchen for a while.  When I went back into his room he was no where to be found.  But oh, wait, there he is, under his crib.  He had rolled all the way under the crib and was on his back, talking away.  I told Luke to come into Ben's room to find his brother.  Luke looked and looked and looked - in the crib, behind the chair, on the changing table - but kept saying "Where's Ben, Momma?" (never mind Ben was talking and cooing really loudly).  Finally I gave Luke a little nudge and pointed under the crib.  And Luke found Ben.

    This is a great story. We have a friend who had a little boy recently that they named Ben as well. They were over a few weeks ago for Labor Day and I had the baby swing out for Ben to use if they needed it. Reed was fascinated with the swing and the baby being in it. Now, almost every single day when he sees that swing, he will say "Ben go?"

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. Biking (previously mentioned in a blog post) 2. Swimming without a lifejacket, in the deep end.  Diving, cannon-balling, sommer-saulting, 360'ing off the diving board, and more.  He is amazing!  Just a month ago he wouldn't jump in the shallow end of the pool and get his face wet.  We are extremely amazed at and proud of him.  The picture below is from the auqatic center in Willmar...since the time of this picture he has completely stopped needing a life jacket but I wanted to add this picture b/c it's so cool. 3.  Teeball'ing as a switch hitter; catching a baseball like never before.  One day he hits right handed, the next left.  What will he be???  We've determined he will just be a switch hitter!  We are so proud of him for playing and improving and enjoying this game on his

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
