Hannah and Ethan hanging out at home
Saturday night was the dinner/ party for the 11 third year residents who are finishing their residency- a great group of doctors that I worked with the past two years... this also means that I am now a third year, only 365 days until I finish my residency- yeah!!
Coloring pictures we had left over from bible school a couple weeks ago- Ethan is all ready to go to preschool this fall!!
He likes to color, but always wants your "help"
Ethan checking out the scooper tractor after it got fixed- the rear axle broke and the tire fell off- Ethan's pretty good at telling you exactly what happened, then we brought it to Holgate and got it fixed....
Hannah checking out the camera
Ethan picked up Hannah today- more attention that he's given her since she's been born!
With it hitting 90 degrees almost everyday last week, the pond was officially open for business- it felt nice to get in the water (although still a little cool, the 8 kids swimming didn't seem to mind)
Here's Kevin eyeing the action- he says he doesn't like swimming in June, still too cold... Notice Ethan needs to tighten his pant string- his new swim shorts are a little too big yet.
Even Hannah got in on the action with her ultra cute surfer girl outfit
This gets more dangerous each time- 4 kids in the paddle boat fighting with the one other kid swimming behind.....
After church Sunday (in the dark, no power there either) we headed to Kim and Tim's- who never lost power and had AC- Ethan was very curious about the whole power thing- what happened (the wind took the power) and what still works (train table) and what doesn't (one flush for the toilet before we had to get pond water) he was very excited to see power in the fridge when we got home tonight, even though our milk is at Grandma's until we get back over there- 48 hrs is a long time with no power in 90+ degree heat- just a shower is wonderful :)
But by Saturday afternoon, we (and the whole towns of Holgate, Hamler and New Bavaria) still had no power and we heard probably wouldn't until Sunday so we loaded up our freezer and headed to Grandma's to take showers
almost all the way under- the power went out 10 minutes before the storm hit friday night and after it blew through, we only had a few limbs down, but still no power..... the shop and log cabin and G&G by the shop had a little more wind damage...
But Hannah, at only 5 months, knew better- she tried to hide under the couch but didn't want to miss anything so she wouldn't put her head down
Daddy and Ethan not too concerned initially
then daddy came home from work and said we were crazy- so we headed inside and made pizza for supper and then learned on tv there was a strong storm/ tornado warning headed our way
It's not windy mommy, it's fun!!!
Hannah was not quite as excited, she slept
the start of the weekend was great- mom got off early, and with it being 90 degrees Ethan wanted to go swimming- there were 40 mph winds, so you could see the whitecaps on the pond, but Ethan had fun...
