Happy Halloween Eve

Good evening friends and family. We had a wonderful evening tonight. We have had a great week!! We have been to the grocery store, Bible study, out to eat at Zwanzigz, and tonight we went to a pumpkin patch to get Lincoln a pumpkin to carve. Many of you may be thinking--the night before is late to be carving a pumpkin-well we would have to disagree.

We had a great time this evening. We got home, played, had dinner, Lincoln took a nap, and then, wait for it--------we carved out a pumpkin.

Talk to you all in the next couple of days with pics from Halloween.

9 Months Already

WHAT A HAPPY BOY (TAKEN THIS MORNING AT 7:30)

Well, I am trying to do a better job at updating Lincoln's blog, so here is another.

It has been a great week, a lot better than last week when Brock was sick. Monday night Lincoln and I went to the grocery store together. He was great, I will tell you though, it is a lot different going to the store without Brock. Brock always does a wonderful, marvelous job of entertaining Lincoln when we grocery shop (or do any other type of shopping). He is awesome!!!

Lincoln enjoyed time playing with his friends at small group this week, he had a couple of weeks when we first started sending him upstairs with the other kids (so we could have our study) that he didn't want to stay. But the past couple of weeks he seems to have really enjoyed himself. :)

Lincoln love to pull up on Everything! He is in his first Halloween outfit.

Grandpa and Grams came to visit one night this week, and we had pancakes, bacon, and eggs for dinner. Lincoln relished in some pancake eating for the first time. He really seemed to like them.

We went shopping for Christmas one night-- and on Friday we went to see a new baby. Our friends Kevin and Sarah Cherry had their baby on Thursday. So we went to visit them at the hospital. Lincoln did well, it really didn't seem to phase him, of course there were other friends visiting, so Lincoln was preoccupied.

We also enjoyed dinner out with Uncle Brett and Aunt Mooch at Red Lobster. It was a blast, a great visit. Last weekend we spent time with them as well, a wiener roast at Grandad's. And Uncle Brett bought Lincoln a pumpkin to carve. So he cleaned out and carved his first pumpkin, he did a great job!

We hope you all had a great week!!!

Big Boy!!!

Our baby is getting so big. He is such a little man sometimes. He is talking up a storm, making fun little noises. He scrunches his little nose and says Da da with a raspy little voice. It is the funniest thing to listen to, Brock and I just laugh.

Last night was Lincoln's last swim lesson for this season. He absolutely loved every week. Last night and the first night were probably two of the best. Last night he played with another little boy in the pool. They shared pool toys, talked to one another, and really had a great time. Last night was also a night of splashing, kicking, and Lincoln went under for the very first time. He did wonderful.


We have been extremely busy almost every night for the past month. Two weeks ago, Lincoln stayed with his Grandad overnight, while Brock and I went out for our anniversary. He had a wonderful time. Last weekend we went out to Mike and Page's to stay over night, and Lincoln spent the next day with Grandpa and Grandma.

We have been to the orchard to pick out apples, Emma's birthday party/ swim party, Grandpa's flight lesson in Greenwood, among other things. We have a great time together.

We have quite few pictures to post, so enjoy seeing how our young baby boy is growing.
