Lincoln turns 5

Lincoln is FIVE! Where did the time go. I was 5 months pregnant with him when we moved here to Colorado and now look at him. He is still made of butter and sunshine. Lincoln can write his name, read phonetically, color in the lines, zoom around the playground, build medium sized legos like a boss, and has recently begun to add single digit numbers. Ruth actually taught him to add and now we practice on the iPad or with flash cards. He is a joy in our life. His birthday was the day after Thanksgiving this year, last year it fell right on thanksgiving. I am Thankful for Lincoln and for Zach's sister Amyjo who through him a party complete with Star Wars cake and hamburgers. Kindergarten here he comes.




Lincoln's preschool class gets to rotate who takes home Travis the Turtle each weekend. Between the AM and PM classes, each child gets at least one weekend per school year. Lincoln lucked out and got a 4 day weekend to keep Travis. Travis comes complete with backpack, sleeping bag, pajamas, removable shell, clothing , and some camping gear. With a little bit of negotiating, Alara got to share in the fun as well.
