HORSES!

We've seen turkeys and deer in our yard quite frequently.  But today, we saw HORSES!  Our neighbors have 5 horses, and they did warn us that sometime they get out of the fence and have been known to walk onto our property (I guess deer break through or trample the fence in spots, then the horses walk through).  This morning they must have gotten free and they headed toward green lake (toward the busy lake road, too!)  Their owner was herding them back when we saw them.  They were obeying nicely, walking single file toward their ranch, until they got to the Hannig home.  They decided to take a little detour through the front of our yard.  I never thought I'd like living out of town, but this has been fun!

Milestones

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
