TGIF!!!

Hi everyone -

Well, we survived another week - barely.

Last weekend was very nice - we enjoyed a bit of relaxing, but also got a few things marked off our never ending "to-do" list.

Saturday morning, we slept in a bit, trying to catch up on our rest. We then enjoyed lunch and visiting with Uncle John and Aunt Pam. They came down to see Grandma Hart in the hospital, and took the opportunity to see the boys again. I hadn't realized the only time they had seen our little wonders was at the baptism when they were just a few weeks old. The boys are twice the size they were then...and of course, twice as fun.

After lunch, we all drove down to the hospital to see how Grandma Hart was doing. Progress is slow and steady...which is better than none at all! Monday, they took out Grandma's breathing tube, and did a tracheotomy to assist with her breathing. This will also allow the staff to get her out of bed and moving. She is more alert now, and even stood for a few seconds by her bed! We thank everyone for their continued prayers and we hope that we can share more progress reports soon!

Sunday, Brian went to the hospital to visit his mom, and I took the boys on a few shopping trips for food and supplies. Monday evening the three of us also made a formula run!
Tuesday was a very big day...the boys had their 4 month check-up!
Lincoln now weighs 14 pounds even, and is 25 1/2 inches long. He is really filling out, and trying hard to catch up to his little brother.

Jackson tipped the scale at 14 pounds, 14 ounces - still maintaining the "bigger" status regarding size. He measured 26 inches long.

Both boys are doing great in meeting their milestones. The doctor strongly suggested we begin baby proofing the house, as it will take longer than we think, and the boys will be mobile before we know it. Lincoln is already rolling over in both directions, and both of the boys "scoot" along the floor - mostly in circles, but that will change soon. Looking forward to taking the boys to the pool for the first time this weekend, if the weather cooperates.

Nothing to share for the rest of the week, as Brian has been sick. He came down with the flu Wednesday evening, so he's been home for the past 2 days. We hope he gets over this hurdle so that he can go visit his mom and see her progress in person.

Which brings us to Friday...and the weekend again. Nothing really planned except for catching up on sleep, more home projects, and inevitably some more shopping. However, we look forward to our weekends and spending as much time as possible with our little guys.

We hope you all have a great weekend, and we'll write more soon!
Love,
Kate, Brian, Lincoln and Jackson
