Busted filming our 6-yr-old Netta moments after she finally finally let her mother put in pigtails. A post shared by Ben Garvin (@bengarvin) on Mar 15, 2017 at 7:48pm PDT //platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js

This was for a project at school around Thanksgiving. 

------------------------------------------------------------ And a post from July 2011 : We stopped by the lumber yard (actually, the Yarnelle Lumber Company) when we were in Wabash to visit my grandma. Uncle Ken (my mom's brother) and his wife Jill pretty much run the place by themselves (it's been in the family for generations). Wabash has big box stores and Home Depot now but the lumber company has survived, a triumph in itself in my view. Bailey and Ken Baily and Jill Art got to ride the conveyor belt in the lumber yard, something I remember doing when I was Art's age. It's SO FUN!

Netta has been taking a class at a nearby community center called Lil' Flippers. She's been loving it. Parents aren't actually allowed to watch them practice, so it was a big treat when we all got to come watch yesterday at the final show. When I got there a little late, this is the expression (our favorite one!) Netta made when she turned to see her Papa there taking photos with his big fancy camera.

The girls painted and decorated their own dressers with the grandma's help. and some game-playing.

This was the last day we were able to skate out back before it all melted. Next year, a bigger one!

So fun living near this beautiful place. This was the other day when the snow had melted and the froze again. Most  of the lake was smooth, a rare and super-fun moment to skate around. Art and I explored and played on the ice rinks left over from the pond hockey tournament a week prior (see aerial photos below I napped off twitter). https://www.instagram.com/p/BQI8bQ-AOA4
