Too much to keep up on...

You know how they say time flies when you are having fun?  Well, it flies when sickness abounds too!

We've had a rough few weeks.  The boys had strep just after their birthday party, then picked up a stomach bug when they returned to daycare.  Lots of sick days for Mommy.  Heading into this week, I thought the worst was behind us.  Then, Brian phoned me at work - he had the flu.  So, I was "single mom" for the better half of the week.  Please pray that the germs are finished with our household so our guest can come next weekend!

What's new with Lincoln?
  • He is officially walking as of Monday (Valentine's Day).  He takes 8-10 steps between objects, and his confidence is growing each day
  • He LOVES books.  Daycare had told me last week that after one of their snack times, they go out to another room and read books.  Lincoln now knows this, and he heads for the door after snack time.  At home, he loves looking at books, and enjoys his time with Daddy at night.  His favorite book is "Toes, Ears, and Nose". 
What's new with Jackson?
  • Jackson's 4th tooth arrived Thursday night.  It isn't his other front tooth - it's the tooth beside the front one he has, but his other front tooth should be coming through soon
  • He has really matured a lot over the past few weeks.  In the Tiny Tot room, Brian and I get to go into the room at night to pick the boys up.  For the longest time, Jackson would start crying as soon as he saw me - as he wanted me.  Now, he smiles and patiently waits while they put his coat on to get his hugs and kisses!  We still need to work on his patience at meal time, but he is growing into a fine young man.
The boys have "switched" personalities this week.  Typically, Lincoln prefers to be with Brian, and Jackson prefers to be with me.  However, this week, Jackson has been crawling to Brian more, and Lincoln seems to want his mommy a lot.  We aren't complaining, but we get a good laugh when the boys do things out of character!

We hope everyone has a great weekend.  It's a long one for us!  We'll post more stories (and pictures...because a picture is worth a 1000 words) this weekend!

Love,
Kate, Brian, Lincoln, and Jackson
