Caroline Jill = Gettin Big... Summer = Upon Us

NOTE TO READER'S: Spencer's video may take an extra few moments to load thanks for your patience, please let me know if it will not work for you...I am new to this type of video embedding.

The longest day of the year has passed, Caroline is almost five months old. 

Whoa!

We have had a blast so far this summer. I am now working the days away and Jordan is at home with Caroline...well not really, she is watching Jack and Penny's girls three days a week and running three days a week. But, we are trying to learn how to live a different life. It is tough, but rewarding thus far.  

Caroline is gorgeous and very happy, and we are working on being the best parents possible...

Tennant Family Portrait?

Work is good, thus far it has been a tough but enjoyable job. I get to liberally apply my skills and change with a company that grows at an explosive rate.

We got a new van, a graduation gift from Grandpa Bear and GrandPam. Say what you will, but when you gotta get the 40lb. dog, the Bob Revolution (Our Mountain Machine of a Stroller), and Caroline into a car... Honda Odyssey. We love it and it is very nice to drive, I must say it sits high like a truck but is actually fast like a car. It has the i-tech V6 that is offered in the Accord and old S2000.  Very Safe...I outta sell these things.  

Past and Present:

Spencer came and visited (Early June), GrandPam and AL brought up the van (late June), and Jordan is now in Dallas (I miss her more than I have ever missed anyone or anything). 

Past:
Spencer came up in early June to spend some time after Graduation with his family. We are trying to get him back up here...but he is a tough cookie. I know everyone loved Spencer's thespian side, except Spencer (he is eternally bitter about my posting of that video.) I wanted to show you another little clip of Uncle Spencer performing. A little diddy he wrote.
Live from 422 W. grant Street in Beautiful Bozeman, Montana....Spencer Stiff!

I have undertaken a major yard renovation, and step one was to take down a wall/privacy fence/scary thing with weird things growing on it. Juan came over and we got it downed, demolished, and hauled out in a day.

Juan takes a pose to show his sawing skills.

We love our yard, and its time for a facelift. The goal is to have a gorgeous yard, worthy of having Caroline frolicking her summer days away...when you live in Montana, the few months you get to spend outside are a treasure.  

GrandPam and AL brought up Cindy and Beau to experience the Bozeman life, they got the Royal by staying out at Grandpa Jones house (with its spacious views and perfect location).

My Favorite Loves

Present:

Jordan is in Dallas with Caroline, visiting Grandpa Jones, Grandma Jen, Her YaYa, and Spencer. I stayed home and cleaned and did yard work, did a better job on the yard work. This is my first time without Caroline, and one of the few times Jordan has been away from me. It has been brutal. I guess I have changed so much in the last months that going back to that much free time left me feeling...lost. 

Lost without my beautiful wife: 

I had to get a pregnant photo in here somewhere (For everyone's info: Jordan has lost all her baby weight and looks amazing, thats my brag...and without starving herself or a trainer)

OR..

Maybe I am lost without my little 17lbs of joy!

Either way, so much for growing up. I have always loved the phrase "life happens." It is a true and meaningful insight into our lives, good, bad, or ugly...LIFE HAPPENS

The real question then is simple...this is one of my first memories of living with Jordan; she had a poster from a book cover and it simply read "where do you get your inspiration"...simple as that, WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR INSPIRATION. If life happens and you cannot do a thing about, then you must think that only your inspirations can steer your  vessel. 

Much Love,
