Let the summer begin!!!

Well, I'm a little behind because the summer started quite a while ago, but I'm finally getting back to this post that I started around Memorial Day.  We have had more action at the Hannig compound in the past month than we have had the first 3 years of living here.  I can hardly determine how to recap it all.  I will just let the pictures tell the story, as I often resort to doing.  This is just the first few weeks of summer.  I will have to add another post shortly, to catch us up to July!

First, we have Meredith, just being cute.  She will be ONE YEAR OLD TOMORROW!  That will require a special post of its own.  More on her birthday at a later date.

Here we have a mid-May picture of our pool with the fence taken down.  We are preparing for excavation, which was scheduled to begin on June 9th, but actually started on June 11th.  More on the pool in a different post as well!

Meredith is enjoying some ice cold lemon water while watching me plant flowers on the side of Joe's house.

Here the Hannigs are (minus Paul) with WCCO news.  They were in New London and Spicer for a long weekend as part of their "Goin' to the Lake" series this summer.  They were broadcasting from O'Neil's and I decided to run down for the 10pm broadcast becuase Paul fell asleep on the end of the boys' bed when putting them down for the night.

Our new double lounger...the greatest purchase of the year on Craig's List!  Five boys eating graham crackers, no problem, this lounger can accommodate.  Fun with the Tennant boys.

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

Image
 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...
