Holding hands

Luke often wants to hold my hand when we're in the car...even if I'm driving.  If he is sad (for example, when we had to leave Paul's holiday party at the bowling alley and he didn't want to stop bowling and he was upset that he couldn't take his Orange pop and bowling shoes with him) or if he is tired, he will say, "Hold my hand, Mama."  I reach back and he reaches forward and we hold hands.  I love the feel of his soft little hand in mine.  I love that holding my hand gives him comfort.  

Here he is bowling!

    Oh my gosh, Reed and I do this too! Sometimes I reach back to just touch him cause I love him so much and he will hold my hand and not let go. We've been holding hands more cause he wants to snuggle less, but he is willing to hold my hand! Love it!

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 t...
