Pictures. That's all. Kind of.


I promised pictures in my last post, and today, I'm following through. What a great weekend. Saturday, after work, we got to hang out at the farm, and it was such a beautiful day. The weather was great, Colton was a good baby, it was fun to ride with Dad. Just a good day to spend with family. Part of the reason I love this time of year! Okay...enough said. Here are pictures...
Great Grandma Hall turned 88 on Tuesday of last week. Colton and I had the day off, so we visited.


See the balloons -- Colton LOVED them -- Aunt Dee held them up, and of course, the pictures were harder to capture...he wanted to watch the balloons, not mommy.

And, finally...Colton SCREAMING Happy Birthday to Great Grandma -- she absolutely lights up when he comes to visit. I'm not sure sometimes that she realizes that he's my baby, but she LOVES babies....maybe that's why she had 9 of her own? Regardless...this is the best kind of medicine for Grandma. She's just all grins!

Saturday...we played Farmer all day. Colton's first ride in the Combine with Grandpa...

Hmm..Grandpa, what's going on here?

I think I'll check it out for myself...

Grandpa thought he'd let Colton drive. Typically, a combine runs at about 3.1-3.3 mph -- when Colton was driving, Dad and I would chat, and next thing we know, we'd be up at like 6.4mph...

Then, in near the end of our ride...we got full, so we had to sit and wait to empty...

This picture comes because of the following video -- Colton was getting such a bang out of "playing" in the steering wheel. Yes, this is while we were stopped...I think?

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
