Hi! We’re the Lehnardts.

Ben* and Sam* (Anna Samantha) were best friends when they lived on the same street when they were three. Ben taught Sammie to blow bubbles in chocolate milk, and they hid under a bench during thunderstorms. Ben fought with Evan Miller on the swing set about who would get to marry Sammie, and he must have won, because 20 years later they met up for lunch, and then they met up every day after that because she was just that irresistible.

We have two ridiculously cute kids, Fritz (named after Ben’s grandpa who left Berlin right before the wall went up) and Lars (named for about 12 Danish grandpas on both sides - we’re not related. There are just a lot of Larses).

We live in a cute house by the park that we cover in flowers — real ones on rose arches outside and painted ones on the walls inside. This blog is for our stories, jokes, adventures and crazy projects. Lots of crazy projects.

*Not pictured here, because, hello, cute babies to show off.

As in the You’re-Walking-Down-a-Lane-and-You-See-Some-Arts. Not the Lenerds, not the Leonards. The Lane-Arts.
