Ben is three

This is 2 months (to the date) overdue.  But on May 1st we celebrated BEN.  He turned three!  We had a great day with him.  He got a few gifts he just insisted on sleeping in/with that night bc he liked them so much...a lifejacket, a batman cape, a batman mask, and spiderman shoes.  He didn't sleep so well that night. !!!

 I can't believe he is three.  I looked at him today and his face looked so different...as if he was literally changing and growing up in front of my eyes.  He looked a like a totally different  boy to me.  So grown up now!

 Here are some pictures from the days surrounding his birthday.  First was the birthday donut from Teal's.  Cold Spring Bakery donuts of course!
 Then comes the gifts from uncle Joe - batman mask and cape.
 
 Brotherly love and a new life jacket!
 

 Grandpa Ernie and Grandma Marcy came to celebrate.


 Sleeping with the Spiderman shoes and Dusty Lego plane from Pete and Eryn.  He had his life jacket on, but we made him take it off and he finally submitted!
 
 Heading to Ben's 3 year well exam.  Quite the outfit!  The nurses and doctors couldn't get enough of his cute little being.
 
He did so great with the eye test, pointing to the letter on my card that corresponded with the letter the nurse was pointing to in the back of the room.
 
 I can't get enough of this outfit, especially with the little glasses on for the eye test. So smoochable!

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 ...

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...
