And Happy Birthday, Rebekah!

Rebekah gets to share her birthday with a buddy now that Oliver was born 8 days late on her birthday! So we had a double celebration.  We love our Aunt Bek!

Announcing...Oliver Owen Hanks

Born 2:44 am on April 14th
9 lbs. 8 ozs.
22.8" long
We are all so excited he's finally here! 





My cute husband

I love that he's using his Magnolia construction pencil to draw a headboard on a piece of wood.  It's going to look amazing.  I can't wait!

Fun new plaything

Our farmer friend is allowing us all to enjoy this little toy! It's a blast until you see your 10 year old riding off with your 6 year old holding on for dear life!




This is how I feel after school sometimes.  Hahaha

House Projects

We have been slowly updating the farmhouse.  A new light fixture in the living room, a small table that belonged to my mom refinished, and my whimsical hallway.  Still a work in progress, but I'm learning to love the journey.  I have enjoyed each of these fun little weekend projects.  






MACS Fine Arts Competition

Our high school students were involved in the MN Association of Christian Schools fine arts competition this month, and they did very well especially in art and academic testing.  They are really fun, and I had a good time going with my junior girls for the day.
