Ben crawls

Benny is officially crawling.  Until this past weekend, he would make one or two moves crawling toward an object of interest, then dive on the floor to reach for the toy.  He would also army crawl or roll himself all the way around a room.  But this past weekend at our good friend's house (Donovan and Chauntal), he made one or two moves crawling, and then, as we watched for him to dive, he surprised us and kept on crawling.  Yay, Benny!  The baby gates will go up and the small toys/choking hazzards will be put away.

Last week he also was able to get himself from his stomach or back to a sitting position.  He had been so frustrated that once he got down to crawl he was stuck on either his tummy or back.  Now he can get himself back up to the sitting position.  In fact, it is 11pm as I type this and he just woke up crying so I went in to check on him and for the first time he was sitting up in his crib, watching the door.  It was so cute!

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
